@latouche_pierre Thanks! It's a cool gang 😊

Happy new year!
2025 marks the start of a new role for me, as Associate Editor of Bayesian Analysis. Send in your papers!

Sorry for the rant, but your system makes it very annoying to submit a reference.

BTW: the student is excellent, you should make him an offer.

[Robin Ryder @RobinJRyder]

Hi @HECParis @HECParisMasters
I just wasted 20 minutes submitting a reference letter for a student who is applying to your institution.
You need to change your reference system; the current version is wasting our time.

[Robin Ryder @RobinJRyder]

But now I can't submit my reference without uploading a photo of my professional ID?? Thanks for forcing me to take a photo and crop out all the sensitive details before sending it to you. You sent the request to my professional email address: isn't proof enough of who I am?

We know who's getting the Nobel prize in Literature next year

When the conference acronyms get a little out of hand…

Finally, some automatization of PDMP methods such as the Zig-Zag sampler: https://t.co/TQ43c5l4lY

Congratulations to Dr @AndralCharly who succesfully defended his PhD @Paris_Dauphine yesterday!
His doctoral work was supervised by Christian Robert and Randal Douc @mathsEtCaetera; I was delighted to be part of the jury.

Second, improving Importance Sampling by using normalizing flows and Quasi-Monte Carlo. Charly demonstrated a significant decrease in estimator variance: https://t.co/WELpXpk4w2

Here's the link to the petition again: https://t.co/OopTTfFvk9

Bayesians!
Are you a member of @ISBA_events? Are you into applications in the Social Sciences?

We are starting a new ISBA section on Bayesian Social Sciences. This requires a petition, signed by at least 30 ISBA members. You can add your name here:

Statisticians and practitioners have recently started meeting at the Bayesian Methods in the Social Sciences workshops (Paris 2022, Amsterdam 2024).
We are hoping that an ISBA section will help bring this community further together. Join us!
