We already have the review back on our paper from Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. And it is quite positive!

Dear Dr Kilbinger

I attach the reviewer’s comments on your manuscript entitled “Bayesian model comparison in cosmology with Population Monte Carlo”, ref. MN-09-2486-MJ, which you submitted to Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Minor revision of your manuscript is requested before it is reconsidered for publication.

The referee is very enthusiastic:

The importance of the paper, in my view, stems more from the methodology presented than from its application to current data. I have only a few very minor comments concerning typos and a few points where I believe slight re-wording might make the paper clearer – especially to a non-specialist (i.e. non-statistician) reader.

I thus think we can have a revision ready within a few days and send it back to Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, hopefully with a final and positive result!
