exercises for Weeks 10 (Mon 20 Oct ff) and 11 (Mon Oct 27 ff)

** OBLIG, prepare your pdf's, read Shakepeare and Goethe and Chekov, I look forward to seeing your reports, by Mon Oct 27. Check early enough that the Canvas system works.

** Are there any PhD Candidates on board? Yes, 20 minutes presentations will come: 

.. Wed 29 Oct: Berit ?, copulae; Juan Paulo, bank.
.. Mon 3 Nov: Vetle V, cosmos; Henrik N, forensic science.

** Let Y be pois(\theta), with loss (\delta - \theta)^2/\theta. We did this today, with minimaxity and more. But for the parameter restriction \theta \ge 0.50, find & plot the risk function for the truncation-from-0-to-1 estimator, and comment. 

** Simulate something, along the lines of (i) \theta_i from some distribution, wide or narrow, (ii) Y_i is \N(\theta_i,1), say for n = 100. Plot (y_i, \hat y_{i,\stein}), for today's exercise 9.23.

** The rest of the Abel 1902 envelopes Story #42.

** 7.14, 7.11. 

Soon, next week: we'll be doing *some but not many* of the Ch14 exercises. Start by looking through 14.11, to see an not-too-hard application.
