About BFF:

The Bayesian, Fiducial, and Frequentist (BFF) community began in 2014 to facilitate scientific exchange among data scientist and scholars in related fields that develop new methodologies and within the foundational principles of data science. The community encourages and promotes research activities to bridge foundations on data-based decisions to facilitate objective and replicable scientific learning, and to develop analytic and computing methodologies for data analysis.

Over the last 10 years, BFF conferences have served as a venue to bring together researchers and practitioners from Bayesian analysis, fiducial statistics, and frequentist statistics with interest important open problems in both theory and implementation, and most importantly discuss future directions of such research. The diversity of the conference attendees has created a dynamic, in-depth exchange of thoughts and ideas like no other conference in data science.
