A Computational Approach to Statistics
Reading time: 11 min. If you know a little about programming and probability theory, this article will change the way you think about statistics and computation. Aside from language constructs from deterministic computing, such as assignment “x:=42”, control flow statements such as if and while, and arrays, in probabilistic programming we moreover require the construct…

The sound waves of an octave therefore have exactly ½ the length (period) and perfectly fit twice in the wave of it’s mother tone. Sounding together, this…
