Menu

Period
Week 11-13: 19 March - 8 April
Exercises

During Part 5, you will be working on one major project, plus a couple of smaller exercise sheets.

  1. The project assignment (Exercise sheet) including instructions for presentations 26 March, 9 April, and 16 April.
  2. Confidence Interval (repetition Friday 20 March 2015)
  3. Hypothesis Testing (preparation for project analysis) for discussion Friday 27 March and Wednesday 8 April 2015
  4. Probability Theory (repetition, additional theory)
Mandatory Coursework

The major project is mandatory group work, with three oral presentations in Tuesday classes. See the requirements page for coursework details.
