New versions of nimble and nimbleHMC are available on CRAN. nimble now includes a Barker block sampler for MCMC, better implementations of Laplace approximation and adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature, and calling any user-provided optimization function. https://t.co/7Adq09ih7g
🎉 Announcing BAYSM 2025! Join us online April 7-11 for the official j-ISBA conference for early-career Bayesian researchers. Abstract submissions are open until Jan 15, 2025. 🌐 Visit https://t.co/ptfNoOZsXh for details! #BAYSM2025@ISBA_events
We seek to fill multiple open rank tenure-track faculty positions this year. Please see the link below for more information, and share with your networks!

nimble 1.2.0 is out! (details: https://t.co/Kbznhp9HCQ). Includes adaptive Gauss-Hermite quadrature, better Laplace approx, Pólya-gamma sampler, noncentered sampler, revamped MCEM, new ways to provide your own distributions and functions with internal data, and some speedups.
Coming back from my first seminar visit.
It was great to meet folks at BYU Statistics. A lot of fun data-driven work going on.
Glad I am missing the winter storm and had the chance to enjoy some warm weather to hike the Y!
I have been missing the mountains 😍
nimble version 1.1.0 is released on CRAN. Blog post: https://t.co/uLuFfDyG7t. Highlights: updates to automatic differentiation for more general Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and Laplace approximation. Addition of (1D) 'integrate' function.
We're seeking applicants for an Assistant Professor of Teaching Practice position! Please read our job ad and share with anyone else who might be interested.

@mcmcgriffin Saw that yesterday and I actually thought it could have been worst. I think the math rendering is quite bad but the text/figures turned out ok!
Don't forget to submit your abstract for BAYSM 2024, which will be held in Venice, on 29th-30th June, 2024 (the weekend before the ISBA World Meeting)! The abstract submission deadline is now extended to January 31st: https://t.co/JtfuDoLhVT
Hey @ISBA_events help us plan childcare for the Venice World Meeting in July 2024! If you might bring kids, fill out a quick survey at https://t.co/zAmpFrkRO5 . Contributed abstract submission opens soon, and bookings of childcare will occur in March.
We've released an updated version of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (our implementation of the NUTS sampler) for nimble in package nimbleHMC (https://t.co/LwIXp6AWio). Among other things, it fixes an efficiency glitch in the initial release. https://t.co/qwQbqTFcvw
