in the first μ [Thanks
to Gholamhossein Gholami]
- 54: In

the labels ea1+b1x

the bound M',
α and a
should be exchanged [Thanks

terms in the first inequality are the same! The numerator on the rhs
should
be k(Z|θ(j),x) .
- 178-179: The
details of Example 5.17
are full of typos: there is a minus sign missing in the first and
second equations in front of (zi-θ)2,
the indices should start at m+1
in the vector z,
the density (5.16) is incorrect, missing the normalising factor (1-φ(a-θ))m-n, the indices
should start at m+1,
not (n-m+1)
in the second sum of the last equation of page 178, and, in the update
equation (5.17), the (1/n)

not Cx{0}
[Thanks to Vivekananda Roy]

prior in the third line puts an exponential prior on exp(α)

- 385: The
conditional distributions on the Ci's

in the numerator of wx, p1/2 should be
replaced
by p a1/2
[Thanks to Vivekananda Roy]

the definition of both BT and WT, it is more
standard to use unbiased estimators, namely to use M-1
rather than M
and T-1
rather than T,

there is an approximation in the recycling of w(-t)i that creates a
