Statistics colloquium talk at the University of Iceland will be given on Thursday, January 23rd 2014, at 12:00, see details below.
Speaker: Daniel Simpson, Researcher, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Title: Towards computationally efficient spatial statistics
Location: Room V-157 in building VR-II on the UI campus
Time: Thursday January 23rd 2014, at 12:00 to 13:00.
Abstract: Spatial statistics is hard! The combination of large datasets and complicated models leads to a large number of computational and modelling challenges. In this talk, I will outline a framework for reducing this complexity through a combination of approximate models and approximate inference.
