The International Workshop on Objective Bayes Methodology, O-Bayes15, will be held in Valencia, Spain, June 1-4, 2015. This will be the 11th meeting of one of the longest running and preeminent meetings in Bayesian statistics, following earlier meetings held in West Lafayette, IN, USA, 1996; Valencia, Spain, 1998; Ixtapa, Mexico, 2000; Granada, Spain, 2002; Aussois, France, 2003; Branson, MO, USA, 2005; Roma, Italy, 2007; Philadelphia, PA, USA, 2009; Shanghai, China, 2011; and Durham, NC, USA 2013. The principal objectives of O-Bayes15 will be to facilitate the exchange of recent research developments in objective Bayes theory and methodology, and related topics, to provide opportunities for new researchers, and to establish new collaborations that will channel efforts into pending problems and open new directions for investigation. O-Bayes15 will feature 21 invited talks and discussions, 3 tutorials and a poster session, all centering on major recent developments in objective Bayesian theory, methodology and application. The organization of the meeting is designed to facilitate interactions, with at most 7 talks per day and extensive discussion built in. The tutorials and evening poster sessions enhance the conference experience for graduate students and new researchers. Funding primarily supports graduate students and new researchers.O-Bayes15 will bring together leading researchers in Bayesian analysis from around the world. The last decade has seen an explosion of interest in Bayesian statistical methodology across engineering, medicine and science, and this meeting provides a timely forum for the exchange of recent research developments, provides opportunities for new researchers and underrepresented groups, and establishes new collaborations that will channel efforts into pending problems and open new directions for investigation. In particular, the past two years have seen remarkable advances in the subjects of the conference; an event to disseminate these advances and spark new developments and collaborations is thus very timely. The scientific topics that will be considered include foundations of objective Bayesian analysis; objective priors in high dimensions; model uncertainty with huge model spaces; nonparametric analysis; massive multiple testing and subgroup analysis; and objective Bayesian methods for the interface of statistics and computational modeling of processes.

关于客观贝叶斯方法的国际研讨会，O-Bayes 15，将于2015年6月1日至4日在西班牙瓦伦西亚举行。 这将是贝叶斯统计领域持续时间最长和最杰出的会议之一的第11次会议，此前曾在下列地点举行过会议：1996年，美国印第安纳州西拉斐特; 1998年，西班牙瓦伦西亚; 2000年，墨西哥伊斯塔帕; 2002年，西班牙格拉纳达; 2003年，法国奥索瓦; 2005年，美国密苏里州布兰森; 2007年，意大利罗马; 2009年，美国宾夕法尼亚州费城; 2011年，中国上海; 2013年，美国北卡罗来纳州达勒姆。 O-Bayes 15的主要目标是促进客观Bayes理论和方法以及相关主题的最新研究进展的交流，为新的研究人员提供机会，并建立新的合作，将努力引导到悬而未决的问题中，并为调查开辟新的方向。 O-Bayes 15将包括21个特邀演讲和讨论，3个教程和一个海报会议，所有这些都集中在客观贝叶斯理论，方法和应用的最新发展。 会议的组织旨在促进互动，每天最多7次会谈和广泛的讨论。 教程和晚间海报会议增强了研究生和新研究人员的会议体验。 基金主要用于支持研究生和新的研究人员。O-Bayes 15将汇集来自世界各地的贝叶斯分析领先研究人员。在过去的十年里，人们对贝叶斯统计方法的兴趣在工程、医学和科学领域激增，本次会议为交流最新研究进展提供了一个及时的论坛，为新的研究人员和代表性不足的群体提供了机会，并建立了新的合作关系，将努力引导到悬而未决的问题中，并开辟新的调查方向。 特别是，过去两年在会议主题方面取得了显著进展;因此，举办一次传播这些进展并激发新的发展和合作的活动是非常及时的。 将被考虑的科学主题包括客观贝叶斯分析的基础;高维的客观先验;具有巨大模型空间的模型不确定性;非参数分析;大规模多重检验和子群分析;以及统计和过程计算建模接口的客观贝叶斯方法。
