Parameter inference for stochastic kinetic models of bacterial gene regulation : a Bayesian approach to systems biology

We thank all of the discussants for their valuable insights and elaborations. In particular, we thank Prof. Clarke and Dr. Severinski for their conjectured extension to Theorem 3, the product of many personal discussions both in Austin and in Spain (and probably many more hours of work in Miami). The conjecture seems quite likely to be true, and strikes us as a nice way of understanding adaptive penalty functions and infinite-dimensional versions of the corresponding shrinkage priors. Rather than respond to each of the six discussions in turn, we have grouped the comments into three rough categories.
