our first papers to go through

1. The time schedule given us by the system says Tue 12-14 and Wed 9-10, both in Undervisningsrom 819, 8th floor. We will be somewhat flexible regarding this time schedule, and will not be using 2 + 1 hours for all weeks, so to speak. Due to the korona situation, there will be no teaching Jan 12-13, so the real start of the course becomes Jan 19-20 (by zoom, if necessary).

2. This is a course consisting of *reading journal papers*, see the first message, and the selection of papers will depend on you, the students. There might be a mix of "classic papers" and some tailored to your own PhD projects.

3. Please send me a mail, within Fri Jan 15, where you briefly tell me about your PhD projects and general research interests, so that we can plan and find relevant papers.

4. Semi-independent of your own projects and interests, there will be a few "classic papes" on our reading list. The first of these, which you need to find, print out, and read through (paying more attention to "main ideas" etc. than to all technical details), are these:

* Brad Efron, 1979, Annals of Statistics: Bootstrap methods: Another look at the jackknife.

* Leo Breiman, 2001, Statistical Science: Statistical modeling: the two cultures.
