• ## Becoming a Bayesian, Part 3

Fri 15 May 2015 -

This post continues the previous post, part 1 and part 2, outlining my criticism towards a ''naive'' subjective Bayesian viewpoint:

1. The consequences of model misspecification.
2. The ''model first computation last'' approach.
3. Denial of methods of classical statistics, in this post …

I have used probabilistic models for a number of years now and over this time I have used different paradigms to build my models, to estimate them from data, and to perform inference and predictions.

Overall I have slowly become …

• ## Extended Formulations

Sun 05 April 2015 -

An amazing fact in high dimensions is this: Projecting a simple convex set described by a small number of inequalities can create complicated convex set with an exponential number of inequalities.

It is amazing because it contradicts our everyday human …

• ## How to report uncertainty

Thu 19 March 2015 -

Error bars and the $$\pm$$-notation are used to quantitatively convey uncertainty in experimental results. For example, you would often read statements like $$140.7 \textrm{Hz} \pm 2.8 \textrm{ Hz SEM}$$ in a paper to report both an …
