Fair point. My thinking here, building from the MCMC example, is that you don’t truly understand these models until you build one yourself. And science, ultimately, is also about understanding (more than optimization).

Cool! What text did you follow? I am particularly interested in astronomy classes to clarify here.

Great work! I may do a short on this…

Cheers Eric, we should discuss observational strategies some time
