Lecture 8

We finished covering asymptotic methods which is the topic of Chapter 3.2 in the book. We further started with the topic of Chapter 4.1, Bayesian modeling. We will cover this topic in a somewhat more detail than the book, including today's discussion of the multivariate normal distribution. 

Today, I also handed out the lecture notes from the first half of the class (lectures 1-6). If you weren't there today, you can get a copy next Friday or send me an email.
