===Problems===
====To Calculate====
1. In slide 4, we used "posterior predictive p-value" to get the respective p-values 1.0e-13, .01, .12, and .0013.  What if we had mistakenly just used the maximum likelihood estimate r=0.003, instead of integrating over r?  What p-values would we have obtained?
====To Think About====
1. Can you think of a unified way to handle the Towne family problem (estimating r and deciding which family members are likely "non-paternal") without trimming the data?  We'll show one such method in a later segment, but there is likely more than one possible good answer.

===Class Activity===

We divided into three teams.  Each team prepared a single solution set for last year's [[Media:SurpriseQuiz20130304.pdf|surprise quiz]] of around this date.

Here are the three solutions:

[[02-24-14 -- Group 1 -- Group Quiz|Team 1]]

[[Group Two: The Towne Family - Again, Class Activity]]

[[Media:Team3teamquiz.pdf|Team 3 scanned PDF]]

Every class member gets to vote for TWO of these for which is best, your own team and one other.  You must vote for two, not just 1.  Please edit this page to add your (screen) name to two of the following lists:

Team 1 votes: Vsub, Jonathan, Daniel, Aaron, Deepesh, Sanmit, Todd, Nick, Eleisha, Andrea, Rene

Team 2 votes: Todd, Eleisha, Elad

Team 3 votes: Vsub, Jonathan, Daniel, Aaron, Deepesh, Sanmit, Nick, Andrea, Elad, Rene

Here is Bill's solution set from last year.  (I wasn't trying to be as complete or neat as I expect this year's teams to be.)  [[Media:MidtermSolutions20130317.pdf|Solutions]]

===Voting Comments===
Vsub: Team-1: 8/9 (lacking in explanations). Team-2: 6.5/9 (lacks explanation, nice plots, too concise on 6,7) Team-3: 7/9 (incomplete ans3; incorrect answers 6,7; good detailed derivations). Vote preferenceorder: Team1 > Team3 > Team2
