A few practicalities

Again, welcome to the course, starting Thu Jan 22nd, 12-15, in B81.

1. I have uploaded "Exercises & Lecture Notes", version as of Jan 2015; please print out and retain a copy for yourself. I may extend this collection of exercises as the course proceeds.

2. You should all have a copy of the Claeskens and Hjort (2008) book. A tentative curriculum list is as follows (from the previous time the course was given, two years ago):

The curriculum is based on (i) the Claeskens and Hjort book; (ii) all exercises solved and discussed during the course (see the Exercises & Lecture Notes collection); and (iii) loosely speaking other matters discussed during the lectures. From the book, the following parts are inside "active curriculum": Ch 1 (read through); Ch 2 (Sec 1,2,3,4,5,9); Ch 3 (Sec 1,2); Ch 4 (Sec 1-2); Ch 5 (Sec 1,2,3,4,5,7); Ch 6 (Sec 1,2,3,4,5,6,9); Ch 7 (Sec 1,2,3,4); Ch 9 (read through). The following parts are "cursory curriculum": Sections 2.8, 5.6, 7.5.
