bayes.js: A Small Library for Doing MCMC in the Browser - Publishable Stuff

#artificialintelligence 

Bayesian data analysis is cool, Markov chain Monte Carlo is the cool technique that makes Bayesian data analysis possible, and wouldn't it be coolness if you could do all of this in the browser? That was what I thought, at least, and I've now made bayes.js: A small JavaScript library that implements an adaptive MCMC sampler and a couple of probability distributions, and that makes it relatively easy to implement simple Bayesian models in JavaScript. Well, you can do that right now by clicking "Start sampling" below! This will run an MCMC sampler in your browser implemented in JavaScript.
