Travel Support for the 12th ISBA World Meeting on Bayesian Statistics

该项目为将于2014年7月14日至18日在墨西哥坎昆举行的第12届国际贝叶斯分析学会（ISBA）世界会议提供旅行支持。会议的主题是贝叶斯统计的理论、建模和应用。预计来自世界各国的学者、研究人员、专业人员、政府雇员和学生将参加这次会议。这个项目的主要重点是为居住在美国的初级研究人员提供资金。贝叶斯方法提供了一个连贯的框架，便于混合来自不同来源的信息，并使用概率交流发现和结论。ISBA-2014是一个学术会议，新的贝叶斯统计思想将交换。这是一个真正的国际会议，传播使用贝叶斯方法的最先进的统计方法。会议将促进统计理论的发展及其在工程和科学领域的应用。它将为与会者提供与来自不同国家的同事互动的机会，这些同事从事统计方法应用的各个领域的工作。

This project provides travel support for the 12th World Meeting of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA), to be held in Cancun, Mexico, July 14-18, 2014. The theme of the conference will be on theory, modeling, and applications of Bayesian statistics. It is anticipated that the conference will be attended by an international group of academics, researchers, professionals, government employees and students, from countries around the world. The main focus of this project is on funding for junior researchers that reside in the U.S. Bayesian methods provide a coherent framework that facilitates blending information from different sources and communicating findings and conclusions using probabilities. ISBA-2014 is a scholarly conference where new Bayesian statistics ideas will be exchanged. It is a truly international meeting for the dissemination of state of the art statistical methods that use the Bayesian approach. The meeting will promote the development of statistical theory and its applications to engineering and the sciences. It will provide participants with the opportunity to interact with colleagues from different countries, working in a variety of fields of application of statistical methods.
