I think for a newcomer it would be really useful to have a much simpler example. E.g. the classic: samples from a mixture of gaussians that's then estimated parametrically and non-parametrically.

I also found the compression example a little hard to follow. Could certainly use more comments at each step and what the model is actually inferring.
