Abstract This Primer examines Skilling's nested sampling algorithm for Bayesian inference
and, more broadly, multidimensional integration. The principles of nested sampling are …

Statistical signal processing applications usually require the estimation of some parameters
of interest given a set of observed data. These estimates are typically obtained either by …

Recent population studies have searched for a subpopulation of primordial black holes
(PBHs) in the gravitational-wave (GW) events so far detected by LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) …

Finite mixture models are being used increasingly to model a wide variety of random
phenomena for clustering, classification and density estimation. mclust is a powerful and …

At a distance of 1.295 parsecs, the red dwarf Proxima Centauri (α Centauri C, GL 551, HIP
70890 or simply Proxima) is the Sun's closest stellar neighbour and one of the best-studied …

With several dozen binary black hole events detected by LIGO-Virgo to date and many more
expected in the next few years, gravitational-wave astronomy is shifting from individual …

The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors will begin
operation in the coming years, with compact binary coalescence events a likely source for …

Online chatter, or user-generated content, constitutes an excellent emerging source for
marketers to mine meaning at a high temporal frequency. This article posits that this …

Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for
Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With …

Understanding the dynamics of speciation, extinction and phenotypic evolution is a central
challenge in evolutionary biology. Here, we present BAMM tools, an r package for the …
