Statistics Seminar: Chris Oates (UTS) -- Probabilistic Integration
This talk is about an exciting new area of research called Probabilistic
Numerics. I will provide an overview of recent developments and explain
how statisticians have a central role to play in contemporary numerical
analysis. Focusing on integration, due to its frequent usage in
Bayesian statistics, I will present probabilistic integrators that build
upon, and have some advantages over, well-studied MCMC methods.
