TIA’s Exam 4/C Blog

Since May 14th is rapidly approaching, I am going to start holding online office hours. We are starting to experiment with ways to do this, and the webconferencing software that I will be using is limited to relatively small groups of people. As a result, if you want to attend one of the office hours session, please send me e-mail and I can give you the login information. Everything will run through a Java applet on your web browser, so you may need to install a Java plugin first (I had to do so in Chrome, but not in my other browsers).

My office hour times will be: Wednesday, 5/6 from 3-4 pm EDT, Saturday 5/9 from noon-1pm EDT and from 8-9 pm EDT, and Tuesday 5/12 from 10-11 pm EDT. (Note: the Saturday office hours have been cancelled–see the newer post). I will try to record the office hour sessions for those who can’t make any of those times, but I haven’t figured out how well that will work (I think that the audio will only pick up me so questions won’t make it through).

I also wanted to give you a revised formula_sheet v2. There are 2 typos that are corrected from the earlier version: the definition of conditional probability had the wrong set in the denominator, and the second, more complicated formula for v-hat in the non-parametric credibility section was missing the subscript on X_i-bar.
