| 15th Feb 2010 | 20:30 | Societies | Quantifying epistemic uncertainty: How ignorant are you? | Prof David Spiegelhalter, FRS (Statslab)
"A Bayesian perspective allows probability theory to be used as a formalism for epistemic uncertainty: ie a measure of our confidence in a current or past state of the world about which we are ignorant (although someone else might know the truth). This allows probability to be used to quantify our uncertainty about a suspect's guilt, the image on the Turin shroud, the average effect of a medical treatment, or whether Jane Austen died before Napoleon. I will look at how these ideas have developed and are being used in practice, and how scoring rules can be used to assess how well you can quantify your doubt. A test will be given at the end, and a small prize awarded for the person who best knows what they don't know."
8.30pm with complimentary port and orange juice from 8.15pm.
Entry to meetings is for members only, but non-members may join on the spot (£2.50 for life) (Winstanley Lecture Theatre). Trinity Mathematical Society. |
