Department of Statistical Science
Postdoctoral scholar Federica Stolf has been awarded an SBSS Student Paper Award for her paper Infinite Joint Species Distribution Models in collaboration with Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor David Dunson.
The award is given by the Section on Bayesian Statistical Science (SBSS) of the ASA, which provides a forum for statisticians and people who have interest in the Bayesian paradigm. The broad objectives of the Section are: to encourage research on theory and methods of statistical inference and decision making associated with Bayes' theorem and to encourage the application and proper use of Bayesian procedures in the behavioral, biological, managerial, engineering, environmental, legal, medical, pharmaceutical, physical, and social sciences.
Dr. Stolf will present her work in a topic contributed session at the Joint Statistical Meetings in August. Congratulations, Federica!
