Description

In my talk I will review recent progress in calculations of the nuclear matrix elements for two-neutrino double beta decay, two-neutrino double electron capture double beta decay, and neutrinoless double beta decay. Emphasis will be on the extension of the strength function approach for the two-neutrino decay matrix elements, and on the statistical approach to estimate the neutrinoless nuclear matrix elements and their uncertainty.
