Exercises for Wed Nov 15

1. On Wed Nov 8 I discussed more MCMC, with emphasis on the Metropolis algorithm and its uses, and also the Gibbs sampler. I also went through various details related to Exam 2015, #2, the ensemble of geometric probabilities. Furthermore I touched general regression models, outside the classical linear regression framework.

2. On Wed Nov 15 I'm busy with the FocuStat Research Kitchen ("From Processes to Models). Ida Scheel will teach then, and use perhaps most of the time for going through the two Exam Project problems for 2016 (when Ida had this course).

3. On Wed Nov 22 there's another opportunity to take up details and queries, in an extra half hour 15:20 to 15:50.

4. A clear curriculum list will be uploaded shortly. About the only part still remaining for us is the first half of the regression chapter 14.

5. Earlier I've uploaded a file from Sam-Erik Walker, with details for Exam 2008 #1. I've now uploaded a second file from him (with his permission!), with details for Exam 2008 #3. Note that I've also uploaded com30b, with MCMC etc. for Exam 2015 #2, the ensemble of geometric probabilities.
