exercises for Thu Feb 17

1. On Thu Feb 10 we dealt with the first half of Ch 2, and with an extended discussion of AIC and BIC. We also went through modelling, model fitting, and analysis, of the JJ dataset and the chicken dataset. The AIC and BIC model selection schemes are more general than in the book; see Nils Notes Exercises 9, 10, in particular.

2. I've placed R scripts com1d and com101a on the website, with more to come, soon. I'm also uploading Nils Exercises and Lectures Notes Version B there, now 12 pages.

3. For Thu Feb 17, work (hard) with Nils Exercise 11, the skiing days at Bj?rnholt. How many skiing days will there be in 2013 (given everything observed and counted up to 2012)? Also do Nils Exercises 8, 9, 10.

4. Next week we are close to rounding off Ch 2, with relatively speaking more time needed for the models and methods of Ch 3 after that. There will more technical information here reasonably soon.
