7	Where did the frequentist-Bayesian debate go?
4	Given that one can sample $X \sim f(x)$, is there an easy way to sample $Y \sim k \cdot f(g(y))$ (such as $k \cdot f(e^y)$)?
2	Do Random Forests exhibit prediction bias?
1	Bayesian and frequentist reasoning in plain English
0	If you use a point estimate that maximizes $P(x \| \theta)$, what does that say about your philosophy? (frequentist or Bayesian or something else?)
