Abstract:
|
The wide variety of Steve Fienberg's myriad research contributions to the theory, methodology and application of Bayesian analysis have been remarkable in how they have anticipated so many different areas of flourishing Bayesian research today. In this talk we will take a tour of many of Steve's prescient contributions including the introduction and development of Bayesian methods for classical statistical problems such as latent root analysis and sparse multinomial cell probability estimation, for novel applications such as data confidentiality protection, disability measurement in elderly populations and legal proceedings frameworks, and for modern machine learning approaches such as mixed membership classification analysis. Never one to shy away from controversy, Steve's impressive attention to the foundations and historical evolution of Bayesian analysis will also be discussed.
