Exercises for Friday September 7
- On Friday 31th of August we went through the rest of Chapter 2, among other things about non-informative priors (specifically Jeffreys).
- Next week we will go through Chapter 3. We will also go through some exercises (see below).
- Note the pdf-document "Notes from Emil Stoltenberg 2017" which contains solutions to the exercises from the book which were given last week.
- Note the R-script "nils_ex1.R" which contains R-solutions for Nils Exercise 1.
- Exercises:
- find the pdf-document "Exam project 2015" on the course page and do Exercise 1. Note that some questions, specifically the second part of b (the distribution of the estimator), and the second part of g (the normal approximation), concern topics that have not yet been taught, and we will save them for later.
- In the book: 2.12.
- Continue exercise 2.10 (Cable cars) from last time: compute the posterior mean and standard deviation for N, and a 90% credibility interval, for the case of having observed not merely y1 = 203, but also y2 = 157 and y3 = 222. Also, redo these details *with your own prior* for N.
