This is the home page of SIPTA (Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications).

Here you can find information about the conferences and the schools that the Society organizes.

We also provide some sources for information about imprecise probabilities mantained by SIPTA.

A description of the Society, its aims, articles and executive committee is reported, too.

Announcements
  • The SIPTA Blog is now online! The blog is edited by Fabio Cozman and Erik Quaeghebeur; our Executive Editor Sébastien Destercke provides support in the background. Everyone in the SIPTA Community can contribute! Contact one of the editors if you are interested in doing so. We see it as an electronic continuation of the Newsletter, so do not hesitate to send us contributions (reports on meetings, book or recent literature reviews, interviews, software presentations,...) or request an account in case you would like to make regular posts.

  • The 8th ISIPTA conference will be held in Compiegne, France, during 2-5 July. More information there.

  • The fifth Workshop on Principles and Methods of Statistical Inference with Interval Probability (WPMSIIP) was held in Munich.

  • The 5th SIPTA summer school, held at university G. d'Annunzio in Pescara, Italy, from 16th to 20th July 2012 is now over. School materials can be found there and photos there.
