CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

I love the 'currently in the fridge' line! gotta laugh!

Well they do say you can find anything on Ebay!

This must be one of the few threads in the world that has its own resident Easter Bunny! Thank you very much for the egg, Buns!

I notice the clocks go forward on Sunday so it must soon be Spring. So lots of daffodils, tulips and all things yellow-coloured; so I thought we could have LDC today in recognition of Springtime! Limitless supplies, so help yourselves and there's a fresh pot of tea for those gasping after their liquid lunchies. (Yep, jeff, I did have you in mind!)

Lovely Priscilla and thanks!
:>)

Cilla, if you had me in mind you would have made me a personal size rhubard crumble

Ohh he's pushing his luck Priscilla....
;>)

Be warned I'm about to have a rant to myself in the corner. May I suggest all those of a dlicate disposition leave the premises and all furry creatures put paws over their ears...

And a Shakespeare Crumble for jeffie...

Oh, dear, what happened to JS?

Right...

Could anybody left in the room please explain to me why they bother to set exams... I mean they give us supposedly example questions and then set exactly the same, (oh no sorry one word was changed from increase to decrease) paper... I mean why bother... why not just say.. hey you students are all thick... and we have to make you look good so everybody sit the exam but we'll write the answers up at the front of the exam hall... that way you can use your iniative to get the best mark you're capable of...

Sorry about that....

Afternoon my darling Cilla... just a bit annoyed I spent most of last night revising when I could have been here... with you... under the stars... with the faithful hound howling at the moon...

Oh dear, have a glass of whatever makes you feel better JS
and may I suggest an easter egg?
:>)
(When in doubt chocolate fix it!)

Thanks a lot Bunny - you really are a good egg...







Sorry... that was really bad :-)

Post the questions up here, JS. See if we can do the exam!

Oh Heck Priscilla!
Well....I'll be out the back washing up if anyone needs me....
(dashes out to the kitchen ;>)

JS - That's egg-stremely nice of you to say so!

Bunny egg-zits, stage left.

I'm trying to have a little snooze in my basket and all i'm getting is rant rant rant from a boozed up student moaning about easy peazy tests! How is a poor little pup supposed to dream about girls and bods with all that going on!!!

I see your point JS, good to have a moan now and again. :-)

Ok, I've picked out one of the easy ones... give me a bit of time to type it out... you will have 20 minutes from the time posted, and no cheating...

Yeah JS but don't forget to give us the answers on the blackboard at the front like you had?

Consider the following regression model:

Yt= α +t + Ut

where Ut = εt(α0 + α1U^2t-1)^0.5


(a) Show that the variance is ht = α0 + α1U^2t-1

(b) Explain how such a model might be estimated in practice


Sorry haven't figured out how to get a formula to look correct in here!

Right 20 minutes starting now... Good Luck!

GD I only said they might as well put the answers up :-)

And less of the boozed up student... I'm a student - therefore I'm poor.
