Applied Statistics - Week 5

The following chapters (including exercises in the book!) and computer exercises are considered read, understood, and solved by the end of the week.

Lectures:

Bayes' Theorem

Confidence intervals and Limits

Reading:

Chapter 7.1-7.2 (up to 7.2.4): Bayes' Theorem and confidence intervals.

Chapter 7.3 Student's t-distribution.

Computer exercises:

Weldon's Dices: WeldonsDices.c

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test: KolmogorovSmirnovTest.c

Wald-Wolfowich runs test: Make your own test (possibly on Harmonic Oscillator data below)! (Wiki reference).

Harmonic Oscillator: HarmonicOscillatorFit_Fys2Lab_FitData.c
                      (datafiles Exp_Osc_V1.txt and Exp_Osc_V2.txt)

WorldPopulation: WorldPopulation.c
                      (datafile data_WorldPopulation.txt)

Comments:
We continue with hypothesis testing, and consider Weldon's Dices. We'll also touch upon Bayes' Theorem and confidence intervals. Finally, we'll discuss the planning of experiments and calibration.
