- "*Point estimates*, to be introduced in the next chapter, in Bayesian inference are computed using expected values. In more analytical Bayesian inference, we would of been required to evaluate complicated expected values represented as multi-dimensional integrals. No longer. If we can sample from the posterior distibution directly, we simply need to evaluate averages. Much easier. If accuracy is a priority, plots like the ones above show how fast you are converging. And if further accuracy is desired, just take more samples from the posterior. \n",
