The seminar assignment has two parts:

Part 1: Problems from the book

In every one of the listed chapters of the book by Rice you need to choose one of the listed problems, i.e. four problems altogether. I posted the data from Rice's book on Canvas.

  • Chapter 7: 49, 54, 65.
  • Chapter 8: 43, 44, 45, 46, 67.
  • Chapter 9: 33, 39, 45, 50, 52, 54, 58, 60, 61, 64, 65.
  • Chapter 14: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 44, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56.

Part 2: Special problems

There are two groups of problems and a paper to read and comment on. You need to chose one problem from each group, and you need to choose one of the papers below, read it and write a short (short means at most two pages) opinion on it. If a problem requires calculations or simulations you can use the statistical package of your choice. Include only the essential graphs and/or tables in your solutions. Do not spend time editing the solutions. Use the time to read good statistical books instead. There is no deadline but you get the grade once the seminar assignment is completed.
