 This first series of slides has been initially prepared for the yearly
 [POLARIS bootcamp](https://team.inria.fr/polaris/polaris-bootcamp-may-2019/).

+I'll set up CI asap. In the mean time you can try to compile them like
+this:
+```
+make bayesian_statistics_introduction.tex
+make bayesian_statistics_introduction.pdf
+```
