Technical statistics
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.
