Markov Chain Monte Carlo in Practice Seminar
We will read and discuss papers on MCMC, the goal is to bring the students up to speed on MCMC and to bring the different groups (Material Science, Geology, and Evolution) together.
Class meeting is on Mondays 3-4pm in room 499 (on days with faculty meetings we may need to shift to half an hour earlier, or shorten the meeting)
September 9 Peter Beerli will lead.
We will all read this paper and discuss their approach: interesting topics are assumptions, run time, number of evaluation etc.(download PDF)
