Hello MADlib contributors,

We'd like to invite you to the next MADlib virtual community meeting on
Friday, January 15th.

Gautam will present a 20-minute overview of some recent R&D work that he
has been doing using MADlib. Gautam will present Bayesian analysis of
binomial response models on MPP Databases like Greenplum and HAWQ using
MADlib matrix operations. Specifically, he will walk the audience through
Bayesian analysis involving MCMC sampling techniques of the Probit and
Logistic regression models that accept arbitrary user specified parameter
priors. The code for this analysis can be found on the following Github
page:

Adobe Connect tips: For issues with Chrome.  A little icon appears in the
address bar.  It's EASY to miss. You click it and it allows Adobe to use
the mic, even if you select 'allow' in the popup, it doesn't work until you
change it in address bar too.
