for Tue Aug 31: we're reading Breiman's Two Cultures (2001)

On Tue Aug 24, we had a good introduction meeting for the course. We'll need a couple of weeks to make further decisions, particularly when it comes to the Reading List itself. But Paper 1 for us is Leo Breiman's "Statistical Modeling: The Two Cultures", Statistical Science, 2001 (with discussion contributions).

We all read it!, and it will be presented by Dennis Christensen, Tue Aug 31. Take notes, check your own views, and take active part in the discussion. 

*Homework* for all of you: Within Mon Aug 30, send me a mail, with (a) some sentences about your PhD project, and (b) suggestion of *two papers*, from the relevant research area, that could land on our Reading List.
