Happy New Year.
I have released a new version (1st January 2023) of my "Statistical Inference" lecture notes. The new version contains some additional topics and examples (e.g. Rao-Blackwell theorem), and a slightly nicer format.
Wife knocked out in bed with high fever; 5yo daughter acting like a moody teenager, taking it out on her 10yo brother shouting angrily at him for no apparent reason: said 10yo, in turn, blasts off Måneskin at impossible volume (you can probably hear that from your home).
I guess happy new year to you too! 😂😂

Parents over for xmas. Which is **great**.
Mum comes over every 20 secs wanting to chat (mainly about food and what should we eat for the next meal?).
Every chat ends with her "OK, I'll leave you in peace now, so you can finish work. Oh by the way... [STARTS NEW CHAT]"
🤦♂️ 😆 ❤️
R-HTA looking up North!...
