PartOne and PartTwo of The Book, "Statistical Inference: 600 Exercises, 100 Stories" by Nils Lid Hjort and Emil Stoltenberg, are now uploaded at the course website. Find a printer.

PartOne has Chs 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 13, 14, where the curriculum will mostly focus on 7 and 14 -- but where we shall need material from Ch 5 (lots of likelihoods), Ch 1 (lots of models), a bit from Ch 13 (Markov chains, for MCMC computations). PartTwo has the current version of the 100 Stories, where we shall delve into perhaps a dozen of these as the course proceeds.

Teaching, 2 + 2 hours per week, will be a mix of lecture style going through theory, and doing, discussing, learning from the many exercises and stories.

Exercises for Weeks 1 (Mon 18 Aug plus) and 2 (Mon 25 Aug plus): we dive right into Ch 7, and aim at going through exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9. Also do the Bayesian part of Story #41.
