Readings

All readings are on UMDrive: https://umdrive.memphis.edu/aolney/internal/cogsci-seminar

You will need your email UID and password to access (e.g. foobar@memphis.edu would log in as foobar).

Each week's readings will be in a folder prefixed by the date and suffixed by the name of the speaker for that week (e.g. "090518-Olney").

Each folder will contain a README listing the readings (like the order of reading).

 If a reading will be publicly available,  it will only exist as a link in the README and not a file in the folder.

In either case, it's not hard to see that the residuals are balanced above and below the line, which is what line fitting is supposed to do. 3. Fit a model on the residuals from step 2 (step 2 residuals). This time we use a decision stump , which is a decision tree with one branch point. This is the stump we fit: As you can see, any x (the horizontal axis) less than
