The project for the class will be to find a topic of interest to
you and to find an example WinBUGS program to understand, run, and
interpret the results from.  To start you might look over the
examples in WinBUGS, see Help, Examples Vol. I or Vol.II.  In OpenBUGS see Examples
Vol. I, II, or III.

Next week on Monday a proposal for your project will be
collected which should include

\begin{enumerate}
\item The topic of interest.  That is the area of application of
you project.
\item Give a description of the statistical methods
used in the example program you have decided to work on.
\item Describe the data and the parameters in the model.
\item Describe what the parameters if interest are in the model and what the
possible inferences will be.
\end{enumerate}
