Typos: Chapter 2

[kenjioman]

Here are some additional typos from chapter 2 (at least, I think they are typos ;)

Section 2.1.3, Pg 27, right underneath R code box 2.1

• ... denominator “sum of products” in the expression near the top of the page
  • Although perhaps technically correct (yes, the expression with "sum of products" is within the first half of the page), I think either having an equation number or some other description would allow a reader to more quickly identify which equation you refer to.

Section 2.4.1, Pg 37, in the paragraph right before the last equation on the page

• The probability Pr(wW; L) is literially the average probability of the data.
  • the probability expression should be Pr(W; L)
  • misspelling of literally

Section 2.4.2, Pg 39, last sentence of first paragraph

• ... a uniquely logical posterior for set of assumptions and observations.
  • I think we need an "a": for a set

Section 2.4.3, Pg 41, right above R code box 2.5

• Now to replicate the different priors in Figure 2.5, ...
  • Should be Figure 2.6

Section 2.4.4, Pg 43, right under R code box 2.6

• To use quap, you provide a formula, a list of data.
  • Perhaps should be formula and a list

Section 2.4.4, Pg 44, end of Rethinking Maximum Likelihood section

• ... maximum likelihood estimates have some curious drawbacks, and can share them.
  • It is a little vague what is sharing the drawbacks. Perhaps be a bit more explicit, like and Bayesian approximation can share them.

Pg 20

• broken reference in the overthinking box

Section 2.1.3

• second line on pg 27 has a single bracket that should be on the same line as [b,w,w,w]

Section 2.4.5

• paragraph 1 - The acronym MAP is used for the first time in the text, without having been defined previously.
