gamble's Issues

Installing with Racket 8.5

Hello,
I tried to install gamble using Racket 8.5 with raco pkg install git://github.com/rmculpepper/gamble and it produced the following error:

scribblings: consistent variable names in 'sampler->discrete-dist' documentation

the syntax definition uses 'sampler' but the text below uses 's'.

Sorry if this is obvious, I'm new to DrRacket (I remember when it was DrScheme...), but where does the hist primitive for histograms, used in the gamble manual, come from? I run gamble code with #lang gamble which doesn't load this automatically.

Thanks.

scribblings: sampler method 'info' not documented.

scribblings: methods 'MAP-estimate' and 'MLE-estimate' not documented.

scribblings: Acronym 'HMC' not defined

Acronym "HMC" is used in the "Samplers and Solvers" section without being defined.

scribblings: function 'with-zone' not documented

hmc-sampler accept/reject statistics

Ideally, share logic with mh-sampler.

Build errors

Tried to install this a few days ago and got error messages. I believe they are mostly documentation. If this package is still being actively maintained I could file a detailed report on the message, but I thought I would check the status first. Really anxious to try Racket for some probabilistic models and use in teaching, so I am anxious to learn if packages like this and drbayes are going to endure. Thanks.

Observation context not propagated through divison

The following program

#lang gamble

(observe (/ (uniform 1 2)) 0.6)

fails to compile with error

observe: expression is not observable;
 it does not sample in an observable context in: (/ (uniform 1 2))
