There’s something for everyone! I had a lot of fun just copying the titles to make this list, as I’d already forgotten about a lot of this stuff. Here are the scheduled posts, in order through 31 Dec:

Hierarchical modeling when you have only 2 groups: I still think it’s a good idea, you just need an informative prior on the group-level variation
I definitely wouldn’t frame it as “To determine if the time series has a change-point or not.” The time series, whatever it is, has a change point at every time. The question might be, “Is a change point necessary to model these data?” That’s a question I could get behind.
Actually, I’d just do full Bayes

As usual, I’ll occasionally bump posts for more topical material. And my cobloggers are free to intersperse their posts whenever.
That’s no good – I was looking forward to some of these and then realized I’ve got a month and a half to wait. Also – what is your prior on something getting bumped?
I am in awe of having such a queue
Procrastination is a powerful motivator.
