Sample Exams & Practice Problems

These materials are provided for practice and illustration purposes only. They are not intended to reflect the content, format, or difficulty of future examinations.

R Code

Includes scripts for optimization, EM algorithms, Monte Carlo integration, MCMC methods, bootstrap procedures, and simulation experiments.

The R scripts provided here were developed for instructional purposes and reflect working implementations used in this course. While they ran correctly in the instructor’s environment, no guarantee is made regarding correctness, efficiency, or suitability for other settings. Users are encouraged to adapt and validate the code for their own purposes. If you notice any errors, inconsistencies, or opportunities for improvement, I would greatly appreciate being contacted so that corrections can be made.
