Coming (swiftly and smoothly) back home after this wonderful and intense week in Banff, I hugged my loved ones, quickly unpacked, ran a washing machine, and then sat down to check where and how my reasoning was wrong. To start with, I experimented with a toy example in R: and (of course!) it produced the […]
When listening this week to several talks in Banff handling large datasets or complex likelihoods by parallelisation, splitting the posterior as and handling each term of this product on a separate processor or thread as proportional to a probability density, then producing simulations from the mi‘s and attempting at deriving simulations from the original product, […]

Another “perfect day in paradise”, with the Banff Centre campus covered by a fine snow blanket, still falling…, and making work in an office of BIRS a dream-like moment. Still looking for a daily theme, […]
