- If you're in a bind with your own computer, I've loaded R 2.4 (with arm package) and WinBUGS (with key installed) on the public computer in Rm 213 Miller Hall. I've tested things and everything appears to run fine on this computer. Instructions for logging on are taped to the desk next to the computer.

April 9, 2007
- Notes for lecture 34 (April 9) are posted.
- In Assignment 9, Question 1, don't overlook hint #3! There is an offset in Manly's model that you need to include in the predictive simulation.
