Discussion of Lab

Summary for Lab#2

Rough draft of final report due beginning of Week 12

Lecture (still need to whittle this down)

Linear fitting

Review of computing standard error of the mean (as a group)

Use multiple measurements from real experiment (millikan?)

Discuss discrepancy and systematic error in regards to this experiment

Maximum Likelihood

Media:307L 2007 Week 8 Millikan data.xlsx

Weighted average & relation to maximum likelihood

Fitting a line: maximum likelihood

REMEMBER to use example of fitting y = mx + b versus x = m'y + b'

Chi-squared

Error propagation (qualitative)

Graph showing change in y versus change in x
