Revision as of 22:30, 8 February 2009
Please complete this week's survey, anonymously:
- A: How well do you understand the concept of likelihood?
1 = totally lost 5 = so, so 10 = Got It!
Results: 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 10
- B: Rate the learning experience of the homeworks:
1 = hinder learning 10 = facilitate learning
Results: 4, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9
- Comments?
Results:
Request for supplementary materials.
Try a Google Search for Likelihood. The top hit is Wikipedia which is a pretty good source. Some of the other links are petty good, too.
Several requests for homework assigned only on Thursdays.
Request for an explanation of the relationship (of likelihood?) to course goals.
Maximum likelihood estimation of parameters is a fairly new method in Neuroscience, but there have been several papers applying the method to modeling in Neuroscience. Modeling and Identifying Neurosystems is a research class and we, for final projects, will be researching the question: is maximum likelihood estimation of parameters useful to doing Neuroscience? This connection is the relevance of studying likelihood to the course goals.
