Fixing Reference Display Issues with ox-hugo

The Problem I was trying to use Org Cite Citations and the following code to display my references: #+print_bibliography: But only the “References” header showed up – the actual list of references was missing. I checked the generated Markdown (.md) files in my content/ directory, and the reference list was there in HTML.

A Story About Stumbling on the Proof that the M-H Algorithm in Hoff/AFCBSM Works

Introduction Regarding the proof presented in Hoff (2009) and Hoff et al. (2022), Section 10.4.2 “Why does the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm work?”, I encountered a point of confusion, so I decided to write about it to organize my thoughts. Hoff’s Proof Flow In Hoff (2009) and Hoff et al. (2022), the proof explaining why the Markov chain generated by the M-H algorithm can approximate the target distribution \(p_0\) proceeds as follows:...

My Master's Thesis Hit arXiv!

Whassup, peeps! It’s been a minute since my last post (shoutout to the one person probably reading this, you the real MVP!). My Master’s thesis, with some fresh updates, just dropped on arXiv. Check it: Paper: Babasaki, K., Sugasawa, S., McAlinn, K. and Takanashi, K. (2024). Ensemble doubly robust Bayesian inference via regression synthesis. (arXiv:2409.06288) So, this paper, it’s all about takin’ this ensemble method called Bayesian Predictive Synthesis (BPS) that Professor McAlinn cooked up, and flexing it into the world of causal inference, specifically for estimatin’ Average Treatment Effects (ATE)....

Exercise 0.2.2

Question Explain Why one of these statements is true and the other is false: \begin{align*} (\forall \text{ man } M)(\exists \text{ woman } W) \mid W \text{ is the mother of } M \\ (\exists \text{ woman } W)(\forall \text{ man } M) \mid W \text{ is the mother of } M \end{align*} Answer The first statement is true, and the second is false because every man has a mother but there doesn’t exist a woman who is the mother of all men....
