Sample Exam 1 Updated

I’ve just finished posting the pdf files for the updated version of Sample exam 1.

This update included 5 additional problems so that the total number of problems on the exam is 45, matching the number from each of the first two exam sittings. I’ve also rewritten/created new problems for several of the other problems from the previous version, and revised many of the typed solutions to include more detailed descriptions. I reordered the problems so that the topics would occur in the same general order that they have appeared in on the first two sittings.

The video solutions have also be renamed/renumbered to match the new version of the sample exam. Due to the adjustments/additions, we are now short a few video solutions, which I expect to complete early next week.

Next, I’ll be completing a similar overhaul for Sample exam 2. My hope is that it will be ready by the end of next week.

E Review lessons complete, Review lesson are done!

I just uploaded the E.4.3 lesson video, which completes the review videos for the seminar. You can now review the almost five hours of section E lessons in approximate 1.3 hours of review videos.

This also completes the review lessons for the entire seminar, so tomorrow I will begin to update the sample exams.

D Review lessons are complete!

You can now review all of the material from section D (8+hours) in less than 2 hours using the new review lessons D.5.1-D.5.4. Also, each of these lessons contains two new, made from scratch exercises that I think would be useful to see as you prepare for the exam.

Section C Review lessons are complete

You can now review all of the material from section C (11+hours) in just a bit more than 2 hours using the new review lessons C.5.1-C.5.4.  Also, each of these lessons contains two new, made from scratch exercises that I think would be useful to see as you prepare for the exam.

D.2 Summary sheet typo corrected

There was a typo in the formula for c(theta) for the negative binomial in the GL Distributions chart. The formula should read -r ln(1+beta). The new sheet is up on the site, or you could just correct this on your sheet by turning the minus that is there into a plus.

Section B review lessons B.5.1-B.5.5 are complete

You can now review all of the material from section B (12+hours) in a bit more than 2 hours using the new review lessons B.5.1-B.5.5. Also, each of these lessons contains two new, made from scratch exercises that I think would be useful to see as you prepare for the exam.

As you may have noticed, these review lessons are taking me longer to finish than I had expected. I’m hard at work on the section C review lessons now, and I’ll be posting these lessons as fast as I can finish them.

As soon as the last review lesson goes up the sample exams will come down so that I can review/replace/add questions, primarily to make the GLM questions match up with the new textbook. After that, flashcards!

Enjoy!
