Hi all,
A few reminders:
1. Like last week, we will be having only one section this week at 8-9pm.
This will likely be our last section, so we encourage you all to attend.
We will be covering a LOT of material. The general topic will be
"Introduction to Bayesian Statistics", and we will try to cover (time
permitting) missing data, hierarchical (random effects) models, and
item-response theory (ideal point estimation) models from both the Bayesian
and non-Bayesian perspectives. At the end, if there's time, I'll give a
brief overview to using Bibtex with Latex.
2. The party at Gary's house is this Saturday at noon. Please RSVP if you
haven't done so.
3. There will be no more problem sets for the rest of the semester. Your
replication papers are due on May 4 by 5pm. For extension school students
who are not doing the replication project, your final assignment will be
emailed out on Monday April 27. It will also be due on May 4 by 5pm.
4. Last, but most important, the course evaluations for this class are now
up online. Please take some time to fill them out. They are very valuable
and important to all of us.
