Exercises for Friday September 14
- On Friday 7th of September we went through Chapter 3, with particular emphasis on the univariate normal model and the multinomial model. I also discussed mixture priors (which comes up in Nils Ex 14 b) for next time).
- Next week we will go through Chapter 4. We will also go through some exercises (see below).
- Note that I have uploaded a new version of Nils Exercises where a few mistakes in Ex 13 have been corrected. There is still a typo in Ex 22 e) (a+n/2).
- Note the two new R-scripts (on the right) which contains R-solutions for the extension to exercise 2.10 (Cable cars) and for exercise 1 from exam project 2015.
- Exercises:
- Nils Exercise 13, about the Dirichlet-Multinomial. Do not use too much energy on questions a) and b), as I do not consider them as very central.
- Nils Exercise 14, applications of the Dirichlet-Multinomial. Question b) is difficult, but do as much as you can.
- Nils Exercise 22, on the Gamma-Normal conjugate prior for the normal model. Do not spend time on question b), as we have not learnt this yet. Instead I added a question c*): show that the marginal prior distribution of \mu is a t distribution. The dataset for question f) is found here.
