Description

@stephens999

maybe need to edit these notes a bit - especially part on semi-subjective priors. Also to emphasise the power of transforming variables before specifying priors.

    Hi professor,

    I found a typo in note 2 - simple examples of bayesian statistics

    In the middle of page 5, the equation of density of beta(alpha, beta) is wrong. It should be $p(f) \propto f^(\alpha-1) (1-f)^{\beta-1}$ rather than $p(f) \propto f^\alpha-1 (1-f)^{\beta-1}$

    Best regards,

    Jingyu
