[ben18785]

1. Functional testing! Fergus and David?
2. Automatic MCMC initialisation: Ben
3. MultiNest: Ben
4. Sort bug in populationMCMC: Michael
5. Provide some way for model comparison: Rebecca, David and Richard?
6. Clean up the example notebooks / add some more detail in places: ALL
7. Sort a few other minor bugs: ALL
8. Try to merge some of the existing slice sampling PRs: Ben + others

Fergus' rule was "Anything that's done at the time of planned publication goes in" was agreed on.

I would keep point 1 and ditch the rest :D

[ben18785]

Haha. Not point 4?

[MichaelClerx]

As much as possible, but no method or bug is a deal breaker for me :-)
Thanks again for the overview earlier! Really made me think that we have enough to get started.

[MichaelClerx]

Then again, we can do a list of things we really want fixed/added so that we can present PINTS in public without shame 😄 😄 😄
So let's do a short list but agree once that's done it's set in stone, so nothing more can be added?

[ben18785]

Yep, that's fine with me. Shall we amend the current PINTS project then?

[MichaelClerx]

Yes please

@Rebecca-Rumney @alisterde @DavAug @rcw5890 anything you really want in before we write the big paper?

[alisterde]

Thanks @MichaelClerx and @ben18785 I'd really like to get #1083 and #1160 done so that we have some 1st order sensitivity optimisers, but as you know I'm working on those at the moment!

[MichaelClerx]

@ben18785 can this one be closed? I don't think we've done all of these, but priorities have shifted perhaps?
