At this meeting we will discuss possible themes for this semester's seminar, but just to get the ball rolling I have uploaded a short Nature paper for us to discuss:

As the semester progresses, please feel free to add to this running list of sources of systematic error, tests for that error, methods to account for that error, and relevant literature for that error.

At this meeting we will discuss possible themes for this semester's seminar:

Monday, 1 September 2014

Labor Day, no meeting

Monday, 8 September 2014

For this meeting, please come with an example (or examples) of a source of systematic error in datasets, and a paper that attempts to address this source of systematic error. We will use these examples and papers as a basis for discussions in upcoming weeks.
