Over two months, NotBenthe enhanced the t-kist/Bayesian-Statistics-for-Astrophysics-2024 repository by developing Bayesian outlier rejection materials and delivering MCMC tooling for astrophysics data analysis. They improved Jupyter Notebook workflows by clarifying prior probabilities, modeling outliers with Gaussian distributions, and integrating posterior calculations, all aimed at increasing teaching clarity and reproducibility. NotBenthe introduced new outlier visualizations and refactored notebooks for better readability. In December, they implemented a run_mcmc function, improved MCMC result plotting, and fixed statistical notation and MLE calculation bugs. Their work demonstrated depth in Bayesian statistics, scientific computing, and technical writing, resulting in more reliable and maintainable course materials.
