Xi'an's Og

As I was flying over Skye (with [maybe] a first if hazy perspective on the Cuillin ridge!) to Iceland, three long sets of replies to some of my posts appeared on the ‘Og:

• Dan Simpson replied to my comments of last Tuesday about his PC  construction;
• Arnaud Doucet precised some issues about his adaptive subsampling paper;
• Amandine Schreck clarified why I had missed some points in her Bayesian variable selection paper;
• Randal Douc defended the efficiency of using Carlin and Chib (1995) method for mixture simulation.

Thanks to them for taking the time to answer my musings…
