Article is written as a personal opinion or reflection essay

I wrote the first version of this article as a starting basis.

I hope it summarizes the work and opinion of a community of people using "bayesian programming" as one of the possible approach in probabilistic modeling.

My purpose is that this community will contribute in the coming days to improve this article and make it more consensual and less "personal"

I thought it is an adequate starting point but I might be wrong as it is my first "long" contribution to wikipedia.

Article needs additional citation

It is not clear for me at this point where this additional citations are needed.

The introduction has citations and numerous links to other wikipedia articles.
The formalism section has no citation but is suppose to be self sufficient as a formal presentation.
The example section has no citation but refers to other wikipedia articles that provide the required citation.
The applications and discussion section have numerous citations.

Could you detailed where you think additional citations are required. It would be a great help.

There is no such thing as "self sufficient" on Wikipedia. Everything that is not blatantly obvious (such as "water is wet") must to be sourced to reliable secondary sources. None of those formulas are in the same league of obviousness as 1+1=2. Other wikipedia articles are never acceptable sources because they in turn may also have sourcing problems. College-level textbooks are probably the type of sources this article needs. You must always assumethat your reader knows very little or even nothing at all about the subject. You can get specialist help at WT:WikiProject Statistics, I know less than nothing at all about this stuff. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:35, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article is an orphan

I agree that at that point this article is orphan.

We will work on inserting some links to this article at some appropriate places in the coming days.

Miscellaneous changes

Notes section

Dodge67 remarks about the section Notes and discussion looking too academic is right.

However, the article needs a separation (new section) to separate the "application" section from all the notes and references.

Section "bayesian inference engine"

I agree with Dodge67 that the first version of this section may have been inappropriate.

However, I think that such a section may have its place and interest in this article.

Don't you ?
