Summary
Complex stochastic models have in recent years found applications in areas as diverse as expert systems, genetics, and statistical mechanics. This programme is bringing together researchers from the related areas of probability and statistics to tackle new challenges including developing diagnostic and analytic tools for model criticism; understanding sensitivity of models to local specifications; identifying limits of causal interpretation in networks representing observational studies; and extending the theory and methodology to systems that develop over time.
