The 2018 Lindley Prize will be awarded for innovative research in Bayesian statistics that is accepted for publication in Bayesian Analysis for papers presented at the ISBA 2018 World Meeting in Edinburgh, UK. The accepted papers will be highlighted in the December 2019 issue of Bayesian Analysis. Please indicate that your paper is being submitted for consideration for the 2018 Lindley Prize. Papers from any presenter (invited or contributed, oral or poster) may be submitted. The prize includes a check for $1000 and a plaque with the winner(s) announced at the ISBA World Meeting in 2020.
