How did the September paper go? Did you find the 7 marks on chapter 5 OK? Was the inflation-adjusted Bornheutter-Ferguson a bit painful (or were you prepped by practising the very similar September 2001 question)? Did the normal-normal posterior distribution ruin you? Let me know!
How was it for you? Found it strange the derivation part of the Normal-Normal question had so few points when it is so messy! I found the part taking more time than the rest of the question and I felt it was not necessary when you could just pick the combination of the two straight from the tables!
I saw a marker marking someone's CT6 paper the other day on the train into work...and that person seemed to get the question on showing the posterior distribtuion for normal-normal model wrong completely. Don't know if this is signs of things to come.
Well perhaps I should cover this in tutorials or at least issue a blow-by-blow handout as the examiners seem to have a 'thing' with this derivative!
Recycled or what? Hey that question 1 was exactly the same as the Subject C2 1997 question. And the inflation-adjusted Bornheutter-Ferguson question was exactly the same as the September 2001 question. Am I the only one to notice that? I'm not complaining - means that doing more past papers really helped out!
