Exercises for Mon 7 March

On the skudd?rsdag I went through some further parts of Ch 3, including CDs for change-points, and started on Ch 4. We discussed "lazy statistician's confidence curve", where the log-likelihood profile and hence deviance is computed by a lazy unconstrained operation as opposed to a clear constrained optimisation; see the R script com9a for the 2 x 2 table. We also went through the Lagrange mulitiplier method.
