MCMC = Markov Chain Monte Carlo; not Monte Carlo Markov Chains #77

Closed felixr closed 11 years ago

felixr commented 11 years ago

I believe it should be Markov Chain Monte Carlo not Monte Carlo Markov Chains.

Chapter 3 - Opening the black box of MCMC "The machinery being employed is called Monte Carlo Markov Chains "

In Chapter 1 "The machinery being employed is called Monte Carlo Markov Chains"

Yup, that's a mistake: I didn't pay close enough attention. I'll fix this in my next commit. Thanks @felixr

fixed in latest commit. Thanks
