Hmm, I thought by merging devel into this branch that the Files Changed area would only show the stuff changed in the branch for the nested approx-related stuff. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe because I merged devel into the branch after making the PR. In any event, the best thing to do is probably simply be looking at the |

@paciorek I made a few minor tweaks in I think splitting "other algorithms" into multiple chapters is a good idea. There is plenty of critical mass to do so and clear things to group together. |
This adds manual info for the nested approximation to the Other Algos chapter and moves Laplace manual info there as well from the AD chapter.
In addition to the actual manual text, this is a call for feedback on the user interface for the nested approximation, which consists of
buildNestedApprox,runNestedApproxand the various methods of theapproxSummaryclass, which allow one to make further refinements to the inference from the nested approximation.@paul-vdb please take a careful look to the manual and make edits as you desire.
@weizhangstats @jmhewitt @perrydv @danielturek we welcome any input, in particular if you have thoughts on the user interface. I put a lot of thought into it and Paul has taken a look at it already, and I think we are pretty happy with it. But now is the time for critical feedback, before we release. I would not be surprised if we've overlooked things or aspects might be confusing to users.
