The Initial Days

3/Sept/13
"Leveraging Aggregated Statistics to Improve Predictive Models"
I have been given 3 months to get my background on this.
Not much time if you ask me.

4/Sept/13
Truyen gave me another book. Its called "An Introduction to Medical Statistics" by Martin Bland.
Also told me to master "Elements of Statistical Learning" book.

5/Sept/13
Started reading with basic probability and statistics.
I can now understand one concept in the handout - "Marginals and Consistency"
Also read up on Bayes rule.
Some very basic stuff, I agree. But I am feeling slightly happy.

6/Sept/13
Continuing with Bayes rule. Cannot figure out this chain rule in probability.
