   For a simple user of SO you could only care about de quality of answers, but for someone hiring it can be a very useful information. I agree with you that special care should be taken to avoid SO take a bag stance about new users to keep po

   I have updated the post. In SO I think such a scheme could be implemented for sharing prestige in case people care enough.

   On one hand, mathematically speaking, the problem of sampling a finite state system when the probabilities of each state are known is a trivial one, as you know very well since you have shown that method in your posts (computing cumulativ

   Let X be the random variable that takes values in natural numbers n>1 with p(X=k)=A/k^3 with constant A such that sum p(X=k)=1, you can't apply MCMC with ypur explanation since you don't have an oracle for p(x=k). To app

   I recommend the example in the book Doing Bayesian Data Analysis, in this book to motivate MCMC : A politicean want to visit all of US states and each with frequency proportional to the total population of the state. He takes decisions t

   Your article is interesting. But I see a problem in your exposition, in MCMC we don't know the probabilities of individual events. For example let p_n proportional to 1/n^3. We know that 1/n^3 converges but we don't k
