MOOC statement on a resume

<t>I see that collecting MOOC certificates is now a hot trend. I have seen LNKD profiles with over 10 mooc certificates cerefully listed. This may not apply to every mooc but in general I think it is a pity because that time could have been better spent on other stuff, f.ex. open-source projects: wo...

How to find the best Bayesian posterior distribution given observed data?

<t>Follow-up thoughts: if your sample is small, some priors may in-fact reduce the degrees of freedom of your model, by constraining the parameters in a margin. I missed the part where the OP mentions that he's dealing with limited sample sizeI'd be interested in reading something more on the topic....
