Workshops on Principles and Methods of Statistical Inference with Interval Probability (WPMSIIP)
Members of the Statistics Groups at Durham University (UK) and Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich
(Germany) have been collaborating for many years on statistical inference with interval probability.
This collaboration was kindly supported by a UK Royal Society Grant during 2008 and 2009, leading
to the initiation of a series of workshops with explicit emphasis on `work'. Each workshop combines
some special topic days with more general `open topic' days, the special topics of previous workshops
are briefly mentioned in the list below, where links are provided to the workshop webpages.
Future Workshops
- WPMSIIP 2012 will take place in Munich, 10-15 September 2012. Please visit the homepage:
5th WPMSIIP 2012.
Special topics: IP as a new perspective on basic statistical tasks; Regression, classification and support
vector machines; Evaluation and comparison of imprecise methods and models; Learning and updating.
- 2013 onwards: Contact me, or any other member of the WPMSIIP Work Group, if you wish to organize the workshop!
Past Workshops
- 1st WPMSIIP 2008 Durham, 12-16 May 2008.

Special topics: Modelling dependence / multivariate statistics; Conditioning and updating; Geometry of imprecise probabilities; Stochastic
processes.
Work Group
WPMSIIP explicitly aims to keep formal organisation structures and bureaucracy at a minimum. Nevertheless,
to guide the planning and organisation of these meetings there is a WPMSIIP working group consisting of:
- Thomas Augustin (Munich)
- Mikelis Bickis (Saskatoon)
- Marco Cattaneo (Munich)
- Frank Coolen (Durham)
- Gert de Cooman (Gent)
- Erik Quaeghebeur (Gent)
- Damjan Skulj (Ljubljana)
- Matthias Troffaes (Durham)
- Gero Walter (Munich)
- Andrea Wiencierz (Munich)
