exercises for Thu Aug 20

1. We've started! I used the two hours Mon Aug 17 to indicate in suitable broad terms what the CLP course will be about, and we introduced confidence distributions (CD) and confidence curves (cc). Please read Cunen and Hjort's FocuStat Blog Post "Confidence Curves for Dummies"; one of the exercises for Thursday is to go through the details of their first example.

2. I've uploaded "Version A" of the Exercises & Lectures Notes for the course (and this little collection will grow as the course progresses). For Thu Aug 20, 15:15 to 16:00, work through Exercises 1, 2, 3.

3. We'll try to reach an "executive decision" in the course of a week, regarding how to stucture and place our three hours of teaching. Scenario A: we do all three on Mondays, 14:15 to 16:45. Scenario B: two hours Monday 14:15 to 16:00, then one Blindern hour Thursdays 15:15 to 16:00.

A quick discussion on our first day indicates that Scenario A is to be preferred.
