Weekly exercises

Exercises with only a number refers to exercises in the textbook, Givens & Hoeting: Computational Statistics. A collection of all data related to that book is available from the webpage for the book. Some of the datasets will also be available at the data page for the course. Also R-scripts for the examples in the book are available there.

Extra exercises refers to exercises in a separate note which will be updated during the course. These are equally important as the exercises from the book. [Solutions book, Solutions extra]
