I am confused about this comment:
Mostly we preferred (as do the domain experts we target) to write probabilistic models in direct style rather than monadic
In the haskell implementation of the lawn model there are two different version of the grassModel ( https://github.com/rst76/probability/blob/master/src/Lawn.hs)... By domain expert preferring direct style do you mean that they prefer the first version over the 2nd version?
No, there is no way to write probabilistic models in direct style in Haskell, and domain experts prefer neither Haskell version you showed. A symptom of direct style is being able to write something like flip 0.3 && flip 0.5 where (&&) takes two Bool arguments. -- Edit this signature at http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ken/sig 1st graffitiist: QUESTION AUTHORITY! 2nd graffitiist: Why?
