25 printed: tally(death ~ victim, data = DeathPenalty)
correct: tally(death ~ defendant, data = DeathPenalty)
Exercise 1.20 geyser is in the MASS package (see page 14). Use MASS::geyser to access this data set.
285 last line printed: \(-2n\pi\)
correct: \(-n\pi\)
286 lines 9-10 printed: correct when \(\pi_0 = 0\) but overestimates … when \(\pi_0 > 0\) correct: correct when \(\pi_0 = 1/2\) but overestimates … when \(\pi_0 \neq 1/2\)
331 The problem could be clarified to indicate that the first moment is not useful. The second moment could be used.
373 printed: \(W = -2 \log\left(\frac{L(\theta_0)}{L(\hat\theta)} \right) = 2 \left(\log(\hat \theta) - \log(\theta_0)\right) \approx I(\hat \theta) (\theta_0 - \hat\theta)^2\)
correct: \(W = -2 \log\left( \frac{L(\theta_0)}{L(\hat\theta)} \right) = 2 \left(l(\hat \theta) - l(\theta_0)\right) \approx I(\hat \theta) (\theta_0 - \hat\theta)^2\)
380 lines 6, 11, 13 printed: pnorm(), pchisq(), pchisq()
correct: qnorm(), qchisq(), qchisq().
388 printed: The assymptotic distribution of \(\Lambda\)
correct: The assymptotic distribution of \(W = -2 \log(\Lambda)\)

747 Exercise A.11 Unfortunately, the weatherData package has been removed from CRAN. Similar data now live in mosaicData::Weather, but the data for several cities are already contained in a single data frame, so there is no need to merge from multiple sources.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
