Related events

Besides the ISIPTA conferences and SIPTA schools that are organised by SIPTA, there are also various other events that provide a forum for presenting and discussing work on imprecise probabilities. If you’re looking for an informal workshop with plenty of opportunity for intense discussions, you might want to attend a WPMSIIP. For more formal events, you can check out our list of forthcoming conferences that welcome contributions on imprecise probabilities, or that organize special sessions or tutorials on imprecise probabilities.

WPMSIIP

The Workshop on Principles and Methods of Statistical Inference with Interval Probability (with its tongue-twister abbreviation WPMSIIP) is a yearly workshop related to interval probabilities and, more generally, imprecise probabilities. Since its first edition in 2008, it has been steadily organised until 2019. Sadly, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a break in 2020 and 2021.

In contrast with conferences, WPMSIIP focuses less on formal presentation of finished work, and more on informal discussions about new lines of research. For the recent editions, more information is available on the websites of the events.
