Good to see you finally back after a year, Mr. Lambert.

Finally, a statistician who uses a BLACK background for his presentations! Has anyone tried watching a stats lecture with a white background on a 55" TV? It's like looking directly into a supernova.

Just this month I started a great new job, and the skills for that came in no small part from your videos! =) You answered almost all the questions I had after classes and books. It makes me really happy to see a new video here as I move closer to finishing my grad school classes. Cheers! :)

Hey Ben! i have not been able to find a good video regarding VAR models, and Structural VAR models. Wondering if that could be an idea for a future video!

[@thidmg]

it would be awesome

[@jeannesmith3983]

[@aguiscard2452]

very cool! These vids along with McElreaths are the best resources out there.

[@olofreichenberg6885]

Awesome, this explanation is extremely useful to understand the when/why of centering!

[@xudongzhang9234]

Thank you very much!

Just to be sure about something; these problems only incur if we assume that the global parameters mu_T and sigma_T are unknown and are hence also assigned a prior right? I ask because in the video you never explicitly right down a prior for them, but otherwise you wouldn't be able to make the contour plots you are doing; also I would guess that if the hyperprior is highly concentrated such a situation is somehow tamed right?

What program do you use to write your notes? And with which tablet?

[@markfekry9164]

can you please make a video for the delta mthod, uni and multi variate cases please ?

[@antanasnovickis]
