The Bayesian Conspiracy

The Bayesian Conspiracy is a multinational, interdisciplinary, and shadowy group of scientists. It is rumored that at the upper levels of the Bayesian Conspiracy exist nine silent figures known only as the Bayes Council.

This blog is produced by James Durbin, a Bayesian Initiate.

The Bayesian Conspiracy



I'm a Ph.D. student in bioinformatics, studying genomics, machine learning, and statistics. I spent the previous ten years developing genomics analysis tools for a major sequencing center.

You might see some bits here on programming, machine learning, bioinformatics,
computational biology, and maybe some other stuff too.
