exercises for 6-8 November

We've rounded off Ch 5 on likelihood machineries, and have three chapters ahead of us, though each with relatively slim subsets. First off is the Bayesian Ch 6, where we'll be content to just the basics. We start with 6.1, 6.7, 6.10. 

We also continue with earlier exam sets. We did 2019, 1. Go on with 2019: 3;  2014: 4 (Ruben); 2020: 3. 

We've done Cramer-Rao. C.R. Rao was born in 1920 and died in August 2023, close to being 103. We might honour him by having a Cramer-Rao calculation for the exam in December. This is from the preface of one of his books: 

" in my younger days, [my mother] woke me up every day at four in the morning and lit the oil lamp for me to study in the quiet hours of the morning when the mind is fresh. "
