Dennis Sun, Stanford University, Summer 2015
The goal of the project is to produce something related to spatial statistics or time series that others can use, i.e., not something that you throw away after the quarter is over! For example, you might publish a short conference paper or release open source code. This is ambitious, but not as difficult as it sounds! You will find that the methods taught in this class have not yet made inroads into many fields that work with spatial and temporal data. You can make a valuable contribution by applying these methods to answer questions in those fields.
The project is due August 18 at noon. No extensions are possible because I have to submit grades. The requirements are determined by your personal goals for the project. For example, if you are writing a paper, you are encouraged to identify a publication venue and then to submit a paper satisfying the requirements of that venue.
