An overview of Monte Carlo techniques, featuring Adam Mantz
I will survey Monte Carlo techniques used in the closely related applications of data analysis, inference and numerical integration, and compare their use with that of non-MC methods. This will be a whiteboard talk, although I promise not to prove anything. The material includes the methods used to carry out the kind of Bayesian analysis described last week, so bring along any remaining questions on that subject.
