MCMC Model Comparison
---------------------
Figure 5.24

The top-right panel shows the posterior pdf for mu and sigma for a single
Gaussian fit to the data shown in figure 5.23. The remaining panels show the
projections of the five-dimensional pdf for a Gaussian mixture model with
two components. Contours are based on a 10,000 point MCMC chain.
