The summer school in Bayesian Analysis and Decision Theory at Lund University 2015 has now completed its physical week. Students are now working on their individual projects and we expect a thrilling web conference at late September.
All lectures and exercises were held in the Maths Building at Lund University. We got the opportunity to write on two walls of black boards using old fashioned chalks.
