Also add reference_expectations for mean, variances and covariance

Should we rename references in

  "references": [
    "rubin1981estimation",
    "gelman2013bayesian"
  ],

to citations (or something else) to avoid confusion?

MansMeg commented 4 years ago

Thats a very good idea!

MansMeg commented 4 years ago

I now tried this out, but citation does actually not make sense. We are essentially listing references for the data rather than citations for the data and that is a semantic difference. So I suggest we call it references and reference_posterior to make the distinction clear.

In the database I also rename the "references" folder to "bibtex_bibliography" to try to make the distinction more clear.

eerolinna commented 4 years ago

Hmm, that's a good point about references being better than citations. I still think it can be confusing to have references and reference_posterior. Could we rename reference_posterior to something else? Or perhaps rename references to something like publications or publication_references?

MansMeg commented 4 years ago

Alright. I and Aki discussed this briefly. I agree that it may be slightly confusing, but we could not come up with a better solution so Ill stick with reference_posterior and references for now.

MansMeg commented 4 years ago

Now fixed.
