@eigil@mathstodon.xyz I am interested in probability theory, but find the category theory nomenclature opaque and confusing. Can you recommend a reference that gently introduces Markov categories for probabalistas? Your paper has 6,7,9,10, 13, & 15 as possible references.

    @skewray@mathstodon.xyz I'm sorry to say I think most of the available material on Markov categories is written for category theorists. @paolop@mathstodon.xyz might know of a good source here. (Tobias' paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.07021 is a comprehensive introduction which is not *too* heavy on category theory, but still very much written for categorists)
