Hi all --
The lecture questions for the second lecture are up on the main page of the Course Website, and are titled "Lecture 2 Quiz". By Sunday at 8AM, you should watch the last 10 minutes of Lecture 1 and Lecture 2 online with the video annotation tool, and answer these short questions. To access the video annotation tool, go to "Lecture Video Annotation" on the course website. The last 10 minutes of Lecture 1 are the last 10 minutes of the video "Spring 2010 Lecture 01-2" (start at minute 38:00). For Lecture 2, the two videos you should watch are "Spring 2010 Lecture 02-1" and "Spring 2010 Lecture 02-2".
The slides that go with the lectures are under "Lecture Notes" and are called "the basics" and "Theories of Inference". (Download both sets of slides "to print".) The slides for the last 10 minutes of Lecture 1 start with "The Birthday Problem" slide (pg 30) in "the basics". Then Lecture 2 starts with "What is a Probability Density?" slide (pg 33) in "the basics" and continues in the "Theories of Inference" slides.
As a reminder, the reading for this week is UPM Chapters 1-3. If you have time, you should also read "Publication, Publication", but the most important is the reading in UPM.
The problem set has been posted on the course website. It is due Wednesday, February 2nd at 7PM.
Last, I have office hours tomorrow from 10AM-12PM in the HMDC Computer Lab in the basement of CGIS Knafel.
Hope you all are enjoying the snow!
Best,
Molly
