On sufficiency and conditioning in statistics
Abstract: This talk will focus on two important principles in statistical inference, namely, sufficiency and conditioning.
After a brief introduction to these two concepts, I will discuss the exaggerated importance of sufficiency
compared to conditioning, and present some new perspectives based on tools from partial differential equations.
I will attempt to explain the general ideas through simple examples.
