1. Today I rounded of Ch 4 (including the Bernstein--von Mises theorems) and started Ch 11 (with the rejection-acceptance simulation strategy). I also went through the bioassay analysis (see com18a) and Exam 2004 #3 (sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum, see com20a).

2. Exercises for Wed Nov 3: Exam 2008 #3. Also, use the rejection-acceptance algorithm to simulate 10^4 points from the standard normal using the Cauchy as proposal distribution.
