2012-10-10 Matthias Vallentin * Fix wrong label in balls and urns table. In the first row, both balls and urns should be distinguishable. (Mathieu Bruyen) * Fix \begin{center} typo. (Mathieu Bruyen) 2012-09-16 Matthias Vallentin * Address a couple of issues pointed out by Michael Turmon: - Fix wrong label of the F distribution plot. - In ยง5, sum of variances: demote invalid equivalence to an implication. - Fix incorrect abbreviation of the Strong Law of Large Numbers (SLLN). - Remove unnecessary finite variance restriction in LLN. 2012-08-13 Matthias Vallentin * Fix variance of Student's t distribution. (Haomin Liao and Vincent Yang) 2012-07-03 Matthias Vallentin * Create ggplot2 version of the distribution plots. The new plots work better with black-and-white printing since they: 1) use a dark Brewer color palette (more contrast) 2) use different line types 3) have an increased line width * Let Make pre-generate the distribution plots and remove them from the repository. Building the cookbook now requires and recent R installation and the following packages: - ggplot2 - reshape - grid - MCMCpack - VGAM 2011-12-12 Matthias Vallentin * Fix typo in chi-square PDF. (Steve Cheng-Xian Li) 2011-10-25 Matthias Vallentin * Fix variable naming in Negative Binomial distribution. (Marcial) 2011-07-20 Matthias Vallentin * Provide language template for translation. Please see https://github.com/mavam/probstat-translations for details. * Clean up wording in the process of creating language template. * Consistent use of \widehat and \hat. * Consistent capitalization. * Remove 1-alpha description in Bayesian credible intervals. * Fix a few spelling mistakes. 2011-07-02 Matthias Vallentin * Add missing parenthesis in result of infinite series kp^(k-1). (masonium) 2011-03-06 Matthias Vallentin * Use \displaystyle for Gamma functions. * Move footnote about Gamma/Beta functions to first table. * Tweak distribution graphs: reduce margin and tick marks size. (Colin Gillespie) * Fix title of InverseGamma distribution plot. 2011-03-05 Matthias Vallentin * Add Student's t and F distribution. (Colin Gillespie) * Add extra column with notation/abbreviation of distribution. (Colin Gillespie) * Use LaTeX booktabs package for distribution tables. (Colin Gillespie) * Move properties of Gamma and Beta functions from the section Distribution Relationships into the Math section. * Fix headings for finite and binomial series. 2011-02-23 Matthias Vallentin * Fixed wrong exponent in the MGF of the multinomial distribution. (Daniel Nolan) * In section 3, remove f_X(x) in the PDF equation. (Daniel Nolan) 2011-02-18 Matthias Vallentin * Fixed a subtle error in the section Probability Theory. The continuity of probabilities property now stands by itself. (Daniel Nolan) 2011-01-10 Matthias Vallentin * Fix a wrong index in the finite series involving odd natural numbers (Daniel Nolan). * Unify indices of finite series to start at 1 where the first index yields a vacuous term. * Add a few basic identities involving binomial coefficients. 2011-01-04 Matthias Vallentin * Fix error in the Dirichlet density: the numerator and denominator of the Dirichlet density function was flipped. (Rui Li) 2010-12-18 Matthias Vallentin * Add a section about basic concepts in spectral analysis of time series. 2010-12-10 Matthias Vallentin * In the section Maximum Likelihood, the numerator and denominator of the asymptotic relative efficiency was flipped. (Jason He) * In the section Point Estimation, the MSE did not include the squared bias. (Jason He) 2010-12-01 Matthias Vallentin * Add a table describing the behavior of the ACF and PACF for causal and invertible ARMA models. * Remov the discussion about orthogonal functions in the math section. 2010-11-20 Matthias Vallentin * Augment the distribution tables with plots of that visualize the PMFs and PDFs of the major distributions. 2010-11-19 Matthias Vallentin * New section Sampling Methods, currently includes the boostrap, rejection sampling, and importance sampling. * More conjugate priors for the univariate Gaussian likelihood when the mean is known and when both mean and variance are unknown. * Split distribution table in two tables for discrete and continuous distributions. * New distribution functions: Multinomial, Dirichlet, Weibull, Multivariate Gaussian, Log-normal, Pareto, Chi-square. * Fix log-likelihood symbol (replaced with \ell) 2010-10-09 Matthias Vallentin * Add two conjugate prior tables for discrete and continuous likelihood distributions, including both prior and posterior hyperparameters.
