Notes: Week 3
- White Paper Two: Give a brief summary, which should include the various themes for the research that you have identified plus ONE research study in which you are especially interested.
- Uri Treisman, original work in Mathematics Dept at UC Berkeley, now at U of Texas Austin
- Statistical modeling
- Chapter Three of the textbook. Statistical inference. Refer to the ESP problem handed out at the last class.
- Chi Square: How big a difference makes a difference?
- Dynamic modeling a la Stella
Try out a problem and be prepared to share. On line. - Adam's test data
- Last time we did best fit for mean absolute error...that is, the average distance of each y value (Test II score) from the proposed regression line.
- Today we will do best fit in the least squares sense. For both of these approaches, see the handout given at the last class, 'Building a linear model of data'
- Transforming data, from its current form to a set having a specified center (e.g., mean) and spread (such as standard deviation)
- Term Project
