Additional notes on not believing model

Basically we have do divide out the prior we applied (given alternative model A) and retrospectively apply the prior we want, P(z|h,H) - but it seems this could end up meaning re-weighting by 1/L... I have notes to check and type up.

Possible problem with Eq. 2

@drphilmarshall and I were talking about the paper today and identified a potential problem with Eq. 2. An integral over d_i makes this an integral over one galaxy's photometry. The sum of Eq. 3 would then be over all values within D for the photometry of a single galaxy, not over the observed photometry of every galaxy in the survey.

We also think that z_i should just be z in Eq. 2 so the left and right sides at least have the same variables on each side of the conditional. If that was the intention, Eq. 2 may also run afoul of Eq. 15 from here. @davidwhogg might be interested in weighing in here.

Feedback on summing P(z) thoughts

Hi @aimalz ! Here's the project I was telling you about last week at the LSST DESC Hack Week. Interested to hear your thoughts on our notes - marginalizing over datasets was a new concept to me, and seems like an interesting thing to think about.
