exercises for Week 14, 18 November to 23 November

(i) So we're trying to use half an hour each Thursday, e.g. 12:29 to 12:59, in the Integreat Room 821, 8th floor, for "extra talking" (no new theorems and proofs), details of exercises, questions & answers, etc. It went fine today, Thu 14-xi, partly with the Master Theorem of Ch4, optimal (conditional) testing in expo families. For some of the themes we discussed, check 4.31, 4.32 (the Master Theorem itself), 4.33, Stories iv.6, iv.7.

(ii) Next week we round of Ch 7, on CDs and ccs, and start Ch 8 Light, the last chapter in the course. For Ch 7, we do 7.10, with Old Egypt lifetimes data placed on the site, and also the following: Consider the classic y_1, ..., y_n iid \N(\xi,\sigma^2). First find good clear exact CDs and ccs, for \xi and for \sigma. Then work also with the "Wilks Theorem Recipe" for these two.
