exercises for Mon Sep 14

On Mon Sep 7, we went through Exam 2016 Exercise 2, with various related footnotes, about quantile inference, under normality and nonparametrically. I then summarised main themes and results and tools of Chapters 2 and 3.

For Mon Sep 14, we start with these exercises. First, Exercises 7 and 8 from the Nils Collection. Then, do the Exam 2016 Exercise 2 again, for the case where the mothers' weights are assumed to follow a Gamma distribution (a,b), rather than the normal (and yes, the Gamma fits rather better). Here there's no clear pivot, for the 0.10, 0.50, 0.90 quantiles, but do Recipe One and Recipe Two, from large-sample approximations.

I will use *some* more time to round off Chapters 2 and 3, including regression setups, and then we start with Chapter 4.

And yes, PRIO colleague H?vard Nyg?rd and I have won the strenuous privilege of leading a splendid team of researchers at Centre of Advanced Studies, Academy of Sciences, with our Stability and Change programme. CLP methods will be used!
