| | Markov-Chains-Monte-Carlo (MCMC for short) methods are widely used in practice for the approximate computation of integrals on various types of spaces. More precisely, let \(\mu\) be a probability measure on \(E\), known only up to a multiplicative constant. Let \(K\) be an irreducible Markov kernel on \(E\). Then by using a classical Metropolis-Hastings type construction, one cook up a computable...

| | This post could also be subtitled "Residual deviance isn't the whole story." My favorite book on logistic regression is by Dr Joseph Hilbe, Logistic Regression Models, CRC Press, 2009, Chapman & Hill. It is a solidly frequentist text, but its discussion of models and rich examples make that besides the point. Except in one case....

| If $latex Y$ is a $latex \sigma(X)$-measurable random variable then there exists a Borel-measurable function $latex f \colon \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $latex Y = f(X)$. The standard proof of this fact leaves several questions unanswered. This note explains what goes wrong when attempting a "direct" proof. It also explains how the standard proof...
