Plans for the week of March 17-21
Dear all, welcome back to FYS4411/9411. We hope all is well with project 1. As we discussed during the last lecture (March 14), we decided to extend the deadline for p1 to March 31 (Monday). Also, for those of you programming in python, we made part f) on parallelization optional.
This week we will thus use the lectures to finalize our discussion of resampling methods, with an emphasis on the blocking and bootstrap methods. We will repeat some of the basic elements from statistics as well as how to effectively implement these methods. With resampling included (excluding parallelization, which we discuss March 28) we have all elements which are needed in order to have a professional Monte Carlo.
The plans this week are thus (with elements of repetition from last week as well):
-
Reminder from last week about statistical observables, the central limit theorem and bootstrapping, see notes from last week
-
Resampling Techniques, emphasis on Blocking
-
Discussion of onebody densities (whiteboard notes)
The jupyter-notebook is at https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week9/ipynb/week9.ipynb
The notebook from last week is at https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week8/ipynb/week8.ipynb.
Best wishes to you all,
Morten
