The thesis examines efficient Bayesian marginal likelihood estimation in generalized linear latent variable models. It compares joint and marginal Monte Carlo estimators for estimating the Bayesian marginal likelihood. The marginal estimators have lower Monte Carlo error than the joint estimators due to differences in the variables being averaged. The thesis also explores using the Metropolis kernel to marginalize out latent variables, which allows estimating the marginal likelihood without sampling the full joint parameter space.
The document discusses the writing process and provides guidance on various stages and techniques, including:
- Prewriting to generate ideas through brainstorming, reading, webs and charts, word banks, and deciding on purpose.
- Creating a rough draft without focus on conventions.
- Revising by rereading, and using the A.R.R.R. approach of adding, rearranging, removing, and replacing content.
- Sharing drafts with peers for feedback to improve understanding and the work.
- Editing by carefully proofreading and focusing on errors rather than content.
It also covers writing book reviews, including describing the book, evaluating strengths and weaknesses,
The document discusses various English verb tenses:
- Simple Present, Present Continuous, Present Perfect, and Present Perfect Continuous tenses are explained in terms of their structures and common uses.
- Simple Past, Past Continuous, Past Perfect, and Past Perfect Continuous tenses are also defined in terms of formation and application.
- Future tenses like Simple Future, Future Continuous, and Future Perfect are outlined along with examples of appropriate usage.
Presentation on Huckleberry Finn by Mehwish Ali Khanmaahwash

Key points covered include the book's themes of hypocrisy in civilized society, Huck's moral and psychological development, its use of realism and regionalism, and its significance as one of the first American novels written in vernacular English. The document also examines criticism of the novel for its portrayal of race and use of racial slurs.
The document provides an in-depth summary and analysis of Ahmed Ali's novel "Twilight in Delhi". It discusses key elements of the novel such as its title, publication history, genre, plot, literary devices, themes, and portrayal of social issues in Delhi during the time period. Some of the major themes analyzed include the degeneration of the protagonist Mir Nihal's family, the downfall and loss of cultural and moral values in Delhi, and the conflict between modernism and conservatism as represented by characters Mir Nihal and his grandson Asghar. The summary comprehensively covers the many facets of the novel addressed in the original document.
The document provides an analysis of Ahmed Ali's novel "Twilight in Delhi" across several categories:
1. The title symbolizes the downfall of Delhi and its ways as moral, religious and social values deteriorated.
2. The book was published in 1940 in London after overcoming objections about anti-British material.
3. The novel uses multiple genres including psychological exploration of characters, historical portrayal of post-colonial India, social criticism, and portrayal of transition from the old to new generation in Delhi.
4. The story revolves around Mir Nihal's family with a clear beginning, middle and end, utilizing literary devices such as similes, metaphors, symbolism and
