Exercises for Thursday February 12

1. On Feb 5 I discussed ML large-sample theory, also outside model conditions, leading to the sandwich matrix J^{-1} K J^{-1}, and also derived the AIC and AIC^* formulae. Next week I proceed with more from Ch 2, including general regression models.

2. I have placed "com2a" on the website, with details pertaining to Exercise 4, fitting four models to Egyptian lifetimes.

3. Exercises for Thu Feb 12: First, do a bit more for Exercise 4, finding both AIC and AIC^* values, the latter using p^* values as opposed to merely p. Then do exercise 5 from the Nils Notes & Exercises.
