Riassunto

The Valencia International Meetings on Bayesian Statistics, held every four years, provide the main forum for researchers in the area to come together to present and discuss frontier developments in the field. The resulting Proceedings provide a definitive, up-to-date overview encompassing a wide range of theoretical and applied research. This sixth Proceedings is no exception, and will be an indispensable reference to all statisticians.
