1 1 Statistical inference is an umbrella term for hypothesis testing, point estimation, and the generation of (confidence or credible) intervals for population functionals (mean, median, correlations, etc.) or model parameters.

2 2 We present the problem of phylogenetic reconstruction in Section 3.2 as one such example arising from the field of molecular epidemiology.

3 3 The use of “N” and “P” to denote observation and parameter count is common. We have taken liberties in coining the use of “M” to denote mode count.

4 4 A more numerically stable approach has the same complexity [24].

5 5 The matrix parameter coincides with for linear regression and for auxiliary Pólya‐Gamma parameter for logistic regression [56, 57].

6 6 See Nishimura and Suchard [57] and references therein for the role and design of a preconditioner.
