MCMC Office Hours

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is one of those methods that lies in the intersection of probability theory, statistics, operations research, and machine learning. There is a small community of researchers, like myself, who work in MCMC itself. However, a large chunk of practitioners use MCMC in their work. You are astronomers, ecologists, economists, biologists, engineers, etc.

In an effort to learn more about how you use MCMC and to offer any help we can in developing and understanding MCMC for your application, my group is available for a discussion.

Please reach out to me at dootika@iitk.ac.in with the subject line “MCMC Office Hours”. If possible, we request you to send a short (1-2 page) write-up of your problem statement. If we feel like your problem statement is within our group’s expertise, I will setup an online discussion on it soon.
