For the first midterm, the most common subjects are: bayesian analysis, probability theory (integrals, verifications of density, applications), and matrix algebra. All at the level we’ve been discussing so far for the past 5 weeks.
We’ve added sample problems below. You guys are going to do great!
Sample Problem 1
