Welcome to the webpage of the BNP & Stochastic Processes initiative. Seeded by a CONTEX project (2018-9B), the purpose of this forum is to promote and foster research activities around the intersection of two rich areas of mathematical research, Bayesian Nonparametrics and Stochastic Processes.
From its origins Bayesian Nonparametric methods have relied on the theory of Stochastic Processes to create nonparametric priors for statistical analysis. On its counterpart, the theory and frontier applications of Bayesian Nonparametrics has served as a gateway to create new and general stochastic models, reshaping the inference paradigm. The intersection of these two areas results in a fascinating world full of novel and realistic models, able to capture the data complexity of modern data science.
