Arrival and Departure

May 27 to June 7

From earlier appearances at the workshop

Scripts from 2017 morning programming sessions

Slides/Presentations (2013):

John’s lab page

Files Generated during the lecture/lab:

simwithdice.nex - a NEXUS file with the data patterns that the class generated using 10-sided dice

C++ MCMC estimation of coin’s bias

coin_flip_mcmc.py - a Python program that implements the MCMC for estimating a coin’s bias based on a number of heads and tails observed. This is not the code written during the lecture by John. It is an equivalent version of John’s C++ implementation written (by Mark Holder) using the Python programming language. If you download it, then you can run it (from a Terminal) with the command

python coin_flip_mcmc.py
