Event details
Title: EXCHANGEABILITY
Speaker: Professor Michael Goldstein (University of Durham)
Location: Harrison 170
Abstract: Exchangeability is one of the core concepts that links classical and
subjective approaches to statistics, giving a simple operational
meaning to the parameters of statistical models and so to the
inferential procedures that we should follow. We will give an overview
of how and why exchangeability works, contrasting the standard
probabilistic representation theorem with an alternative
representation based on a natural geometric construction for
uncertainty.
