There was a problem hiding this comment.
"we talked about objective priors rarely are objective" I think there is a word missing here.

@CamDavidsonPilon I am using http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jordan/courses/260-spring10/lectures/lecture6.pdf and http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jordan/courses/260-spring10/lectures/lecture7.pdf as my guides on how to write this, though I have no intention of covering reference priors. |
