Tests.  
Statistics 222:  Spatial Statistics, Prof. Rick Paik Schoenberg. <br><br>

Midterm exam:  Friday, May 13, in class. <br><br>

Written Project:  due Friday, June 10, in class. <br><br>

Oral presentation:  Last week of class. <br><br><br>

<b> Description of Written Project:</b>  In this project, you will 
actually COLLECT your own spatial point process data and analyze them 
using relevant methods
described in class.  Your report should contain 3-6 pages
of written text, double-spaced, followed by as many figures as appropriate.  
You may include as 
many figures as you like, but all figures must appear AFTER the text, not 
in the text, and the text part of the report must not exceed 6 pages, 
double-spaced.  Do not submit any computer code with your report.  <br><br>

In selecting your dataset
choose something that interests you, and try to have a main, answerable question
in mind.  
Begin your paper with an introduction, a description of your data and how 
they were obtained, and a summary of the main question(s) to be addressed
in your paper.  Then summarize your analyses, describing in detail what your 
results suggest to you about your data, and about your initial questions. 
Conclude by assessing how effective the methods you used were in helping 
to answer your main questions.<br><br>

Oral presentations of project results will take place on the last week of 
class.  These will involve simply presenting a clear and 
concise 5-minute summary of the project and its main results.  <br><br>

All students must attend class, on time, for the final week of
