Back from Bayes IV

Group photo of the Bayes summer school at Lygra, Norway.

As announced a while ago, we had moved our now already traditional summer school in Bayesian Statistics to Bergen, Norway this year. Maybe fitting for such a course, the weather turned out to be very different from the long-term frequency, in what must be the upper 1% quantile of sun intensity for the region at this time. We basically had a week of cloudless skies, which means sun-burn danger at daytime and milky-way at night on this fantastic small island called Lygra. And the group was fantastic as well, thank you guys!

Below a few twitter photos and some nerdy tweets from #lygrabayes – Paul’s suggestion to establish #bayesjokes has been noted 😉

@beawedeux @florianhartig @olliewearn I noticed the photographic convergence, too. Is three chains enough?

@olliewearn @PaulCaplat @florianhartig Anyway, I enjoyed Bayes-ing in the sun! 😉
