Each assignment consists of (1) `self-graded' exercises and (2) exercises that are to be turned in by the due date listed below. After you have worked on the self-graded exercises, you should check your answers by consulting the solutions given in the appendix to the book starting on page 501 (if you feel that your solution is markedly better than the one given there or if your solution takes an interesting alternative approach, please turn it in to me, and I'll give you extra credit if I agree with your assessment; otherwise, these solutions should not be turned in to me). As noted in the Overview page, some of the self-graded exercises might inspire part of the in-class exam (Friday, 25 May).
Homework assignments that are past due will not be accepted. Electronic submissions will also not be accepted - you need to turn in a hardcopy of your solutions to me in class (I am only regularly over in Padelford Hall during my office hours, so placing your homework either under my Padelford office door or in my Department of Statistics mailbox won't work).
