This week we began working on class quizzes on developing appropriate
models for the likelihood and the discussion of conjugate priors and
reference priors.
Please see the Homework link for the newly posted homework assignment 3.
Week 3:
Homework 1 is due today.
Install the library Bolstad in R. See the Handouts link for
examples using the Bolstad library.
Today we will go to the computer lab to try R with the Bolstad library
(hopefully) and WinBUGS.
Week 2:
Install R on your computer. See the Statistics Software link.
I have also posted links to Tinn-R and JGR.
There is an updated Introduction to R posted under Handouts with
individual programs for each part of the handout. Run all of the
programs and make a list of things that are unclear.
From the r-project website be
sure to take a look at the
Manuals page.
Run the program bayes.r to check your answers to the 3 Expercises.
See the Handouts link.
There are 3 handouts on random number generation posted, see the
Handouts link.
On example where Bayes Theorem is applied these days is in Bayesian Spam
