Plans for the week of March 9-13

Dear all and welcome back to FYS4411/9411. This week the plans are to discuss in more details how to evaluate the best possible (from a statistical point of view) the mean value of the energy and its standard deviation. This will lead us to two famous resampling methods, the bootstrap method and the Blocking method. But we will also discuss the stochastic reconfiguration method (more relevant for project 2).

The plan this week is thus to?

Stochastic reconfiguration, from last week, see slides at?https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week7/pdf/week7.pdf

Resampling Techniques and statistics: Bootstrap and Blocking

Discussion of codes

The lecture notes this week are at https://github.com/CompPhysics/ComputationalPhysics2/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week8/ipynb/week8.ipynb

We will continue with a discussion of these methods next week as well. By then we should have covered all elements needed for project 1.

Best wishes and remember that the deadline for project 1 has been pushed to March 27.
