Monte-Carlo sampling (PRML ch 11) — the inference engine for Bayesian methods.
mcmc— random-walk Metropolis-Hastings over an arbitrary log-density.
Gibbs / Hamiltonian Monte-Carlo can specialise this later (build order in
stats_plan.md).

- mcmc
- Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (PRML ch 11) — random-walk Metropolis-Hastings over an
arbitrary (unnormalized) log-density. This is the general inference engine the
Bayesian methods lean on: give it
log p(x)(up to a constant) and it returns samples fromp. Kernel-classDivergent(the accept/reject branch).
