exam project dates: as agreed upon pre korona

1. As communicated to you on a couple of previous occasions, see also the Hjelpetr?d A, Hjelpetr?d B, ... sequence, we've been allowed by the administration to have our exam project as planned before the korona situation: June 12 to June 23.

2. If anyone is following this course this semester, and might *not* be among the recepients of the Hjelpetr?d mail threads, send me a mail. The same goes for the zoom lectures, where we soon come back to defining a weekly schedule for the time after Easter. Tentatively I also then wish to have *two weekly shorter things*, as opposed to *one three-hour thing each Monday*.

 3. Case in point: we're having a one-hour zoom Monday April 6, from 13:00:

(a) Do Ancient Egypt, Exercise 85, with Weibull instead of Gamma, and the median instead of the mean. Arrive at ML inference, including confidence curves. To what extent can it be inferred that men had longer lives than women? 

(b) Do Exercise 84, also with this Dennis inspired variation: for the n = 12 data points, bypass or avoid the parametric assumption, and define \theta instead as the least false parameter. Then estimate this \theta, and find a nonparametric confidence curve.

(c) Do Exercise 90, boys and girls from Rikshospitalet, "one more time", but now with normality assumed for the two populations.
