exercises for Week 10, 21 Oct to 25 Oct

On Thursday 24th I will go through aspects of the Oblig (which you know has deadline Monday 21st!).

On Mon 21-x, we first spend some time rounding off the last parts of Ch 4, with more sufficiency, copleteness, optimal conditional testing. Then we start the important Ch 5, on likelihood theory, the last very-important-part of the course -- after this we'll have somewhat light versions of Chs 6, 7, 8. Key words for Ch 5 are likelihood, maximum likelihood estimators, Kullback-Leibler, normal approximations, Wilks theorems, applications of these tools.

For this week we plod ahead with the list of exercises given on the curriculum list: Exercises 1, 2, 6, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23, 28, 29, 30, 41, 43, 45, 50. 

I've uploaded an updated PartOne, namely PartOneAgain.pdf, as of 18-x-2024. Both versions, PartOne of mid August and PartOneAgain of mid October, will be retaind at the course website. 

The changes are not big, and indeed relatively minor, as far as the subsets of exercises for this course are concerned. A few of the exercises have been polished, extended, made clearer; a few of them have changed places. The list of exercies already given in the *curriculum document* will not be updated, i.e. these numbers still refer to the basic PartOne.
