  1. It would be great if you could add a section on commonly used probability distributions and highlight the importance of these distributions in Bayesian Statistics. I have seen many students using Bayesian mark-recapture/occupancy models with little or no understanding of probability distributions.
  2. Can you cover Gibbs sampling with an example in Section 1.5?
  3. You used different notation for the likelihood (Pr(data|theta) and L(data|theta)). See Pr(data).
  4. You may mention the conjugate prior when you present the classical binomial-beta example.
