Nederlag for historiefaget

1.Wed Mar 6 we discussed Section 4.2 (which is also the only section of Ch 4 landing on the list of active curriculum) and started Ch 5 (where all sections are curriculum).

2. I have uploaded com15b, pertaining to confidence intervals for quantiles of the menarche onset distribution etc.

3. Exercises for Wed Mar 13 are as follows. First, invent one or two further models for the 3918 Polish girls, and check with AIC and BIC whether your attempts are successful compared to those already treated in com15b. Second, do Nils Exercise #9, stretching the tail of Gauss. Third, do Exam 2009 Exercise 2. For that exercise, also find tolerance radius (1) for a1, seen as extension parameter for the two-parameter normal, and (2) for a2, seen as extension parameter for the three-parameter (xi,sigma,a1) model.
