Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a dataset with an equal number of binary outcomes (e.g., success and failure). Explain how you would use maximum likelihood estimation to quantify the success rate.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on calculating the proportion from your dataset.

Question 2

Given a scenario where you have multiple model candidates judging the same dataset, describe how you would use AIC and BIC to determine the best model.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to balance model complexity with fit!
