for Tue Sep 7: we're reading Hayes & Rockwood (2017) and Fearhead (2006)

On Tue Aug 31, Dennis Christensen gave a wondrous presentation of Breiman (2001), and the class behaved vigilantly and vigorously. We used more than two hours! 

His pdf, and those from later presentations, will be put on the course website. Tentative ambition for us: each candidate gives two presentations, during the semester. 

I'm placing more papers on the Reading List as we go along.

For Tue Sep 7, we do *two* papers. (1) Adam Rogers gives Hayes and Rockwood (2017, the BRaT journal), so we'll learn about moderation analysis. (2) Per August Moen gives Fearnhead (2006, Stat Computing), with Bayesian inference and algorithms for multiple changepoints. 

Thanks for all your diligent homework. I'll produce a note, to be group-mailed to all of you, with tentative plans for the coming few weeks.
