  • Anyway, data are necessary.Data! Data! He cried impatiently,I cant make bricks without clay.--- , Conan DoyleThen,The science and art of data handling and decision making: Data Analysis

  • vs.[] BTW, even a possibility()

  • E.g., then, what is the origin of the quantum uncertainty? Unknown to us still.:Anyway, what we concern in this course:

  • Curve fittingStep 1: /Step 2: e.g., Step 3: Our goal:Grasp and practice general data analysis in one semester (60hrs).

  • Overview of Chap.6Focused on Subsection 6.2 specifically, careful only for ``Method of Maximum Likelihood.To glance over Subsection 6.3To read ``Chisq Probability (p.108) and ``Uncertanties in the Parameters (p.109) [Note: actually, nobody bothers to estimate the Uncertanties in the Parameters using the formal error propagation equation.]To skip other sections if you have no time/interest.

  • Only one thing in this Chapter you should understandMaximizing the likelyhood minimizing zz(a,bzchi^2)

  • For the next classRead in advance chapter 7.Pay much time to finish the case, see: ftp://210.45.66.48/teaching/methods09/Course_Notes_and_Homeworks/fitting/ or http://ustcastroph.blog.sohu.com/#tp_95a1b1f5a7a Advice: practice is more important than reading.
