1. Wed Oct 17 we ¡­

1. Wed Oct 17 we went through the designated exercises, apart from the last points of Exam #2 stk 4020 from 2008, related to the Abel 1929 envelopes. We finish these points on Wed Oct 24, and also work through Exam #3 about lifelengths in ancient Egypt.

2. I somewhat briefly went through Section 4.1. The other sections of Ch 3 are "cursory curriculum", i.e. not in the "active curriculum" part of the course. I also started discussing the empirical Bayes paradigm which is the topic of Ch 5, and shall continue with Sections 5.1, 5.2 next week.

3. I am placing a few "com" R files on the website in the course of this week.
