Topic assignments: Next to your name, you will find a general topic in the area of statistics you noted as that of interest to you chosen from Biostatistics (BST), Biomathematics (BMA), Bioinformatics (BIO), Environmental Statistics (ENV), Industrial Statistics (IND), Mathematical Statistics (MST), or Statistical Genetics (STG); if you did not give a particular area, you were assigned a topic from one of these areas at random. This topic should be the basis for your work completing Assignment 1.
You may use any resources you like in researching your topic. You are welcome to consult with others for insight and suggested approaches, but identification of the 10 papers, tracing the influence of a paper and choice of this paper, and all writing should be your own, individual work. Please see me if you have any questions!
