Hi Martin I would love to have a friend who was a real mathematician. Does he/she want another friend ? :-) Using the Sprott algorithm to generate a prior doesn't make any difference to the form of the results: ie. you will still be deriving a posterior probability distribution. Since it is a B

Hi Martin, Sorry to briefly hijack Christian's topic but I just wanted to ask if you'd thought about combining a Bayesian approach with the single image reconstruction algorithm described in the Clint Sprott's paper ? One naive suggestion would be to use the Sprott method to construct something a

One area I would love to see more work on is Spatial Indexes. Especially using approaches like leveraging existing indexing schemes like B-trees and collapsing geometries to 2d. See http://groups.google.com/group/h2-database/browse_thread/thread/cc65db46b9454d46/0a9ef8fd81148d0a?lnk=gst and htt

Hello Christian There is of course nice work that could be done, but it depends on which area you would prefer to work. Referencing? Coverage? Geometry? In this email I will assume coverage based on your coverage-jdbc plugin, but I could develop a bit about Referencing if it can be useful. Howeve
