Gilles Guillot from Technical University of Denmark taught a course based on our R book and he pointed out to me several typos in Chapter 5 of “Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R”:
- p.137 second equation from bottom
should be
[right, another victim of cut-and-paste]
- p. 138 Example 5.7 denominator in the gradient should be 2*beta [yes, the error actually occurs twice. And once again in the R code]
- p. 138 : First paragraph Not a typo but a lack of details: are the conditions on
and
necessary and sufficient? [indeed, they are sufficient]
- demo(Chapter.5) triggers an error message [true, the shortcut max=TRUE instead of maximise=TRUE in optimise does not work with R version 2.11.1]
