València International Bayesian Analysis Summer School, 9th edition

VIBASS 9 is the ninth edition of the summer school on Bayesian Statistics to be held from 6th to 9th July 2026 in València (Spain). Here is a small history of VIBASS and its past editions.

The four days of VIBASS are organised in two parts:

1. The first two days include a basic course on Bayesian learning (12 hours), alternating conceptual and practical sessions with R packages.

   It would be advisable that participants bring their laptops for the practical sessions.

2. The second part is dedicated to an issue of current interest in Bayesian research.

   This edition is dedicated to Bayesian survival, longitudinal and joint models with INLA.

   This 12 h course is provided by Denis Rustand, Research Scientist at the Biostatistics team, Bordeaux Population Health Research Center, National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm UMR 1219), Bordeaux, France.
