STATS 6M03 EXTRA WORK
I would like you to select an advanced topic from the textbook. Explain the theory and do an example that is not already done in the book. The quality of writing and presentation must be good. It must be a unique topic, and it must be individual work. I would like to have all your reports submitted by January 15. If you submit earlier than that you will have a chance to re-write. Please tell me as soon as possible what topic you would like to do.OF POSSIBLE INTEREST
I was in Washington, DC, December 3-5 serving on a Scientific Advisory Panel for the US Environmental Protection Agency, on "Probabilistic exposure and risk assessment for children who contact CCA-treated wood on playsets and decks and CCA-containing soil around these structures" and again on December 11-12 for "Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling (PBPK): Pilot analysis with a n-methyl carbabmate pesticide." These are public hearings to review the methodology the EPA proposes to use. Why is it important to have statisticians on these panels?

You must have a valid userid, password and laser printing account for the lab!
These exercises are for self-directed learning. They will not be graded and you do not have to hand them in. However, you will find that writing down your interpretation of the results is an excellent way to clarify your understanding. If you complete your report and submit it to me, I will read it and return it with comments and suggestions.

You want the "Precompiled binary distribution", not the "source code". For Windows installation, go to the link for "Windows (95 and later)", open folder "base", and click on SetupR.exe to download the installer SetupR.exe. Then run SetupR.exe to install R on your computer. |
Because you are running R in Windows, not UNIX, you should skip the Introduction, which is mostly about UNIX, and begin with Entering Data. |
