exercises Weeks 1-2 (Aug 18 ff, Aug 25 ff)

We used time this first week to think through the basic organisational elements of the course and the teaching material -- you should all get on board Hjort-Stoltenberg's PartOne and PartTwo (and find a printer). 

I have uploaded R code scripts, related to (i) Odin's children, (ii) the streetcars of San Francisco, (iii) Poisson data with gamma priors.

How to enjoy the course & get the most out of life (and with a good mark at the end): stay tuned, work with Exercises and Stories, try things, check not only the math but altso the interpretations and implications of each exercise, play with code, sample & have a look through various Stories (without necessesarily doing them, yet), f?lg med i timen.

This Week 1 (Aug 18 ff): we've essentially been through exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the Bayesian part of Story #41.

For Week 2 (Aug 25 ff): we start with the dramatic Story #13, where you shouod work through the Bayesian parts. Then do as much as you can of 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 14 -- yes, we do 14 after 15, 16, and these methods will be used in a couple of Stories. Check out the next story we'll do, in a little while, after these Dirichlet-multinomial things, the Bayesian part of Story #54, on the Star Trek (!).
