On to section B!

I got tripped up a bit on discretization and am sure I'll have to revisit the topic before I fully wrap my head around it.

Working on B2 problems from TIA. I've heard that the material from exam C is hard, especially when compared with the other prelims. So far, I think the material is relatively easy, which is making me nervous. I don't know if I've missed something, or if an armageddon of difficult topics is quickly approaching....

IMO, the material itself is pretty easy, but it's endless.

Nothing on exam C is extremely hard. When I first learned MLE's and the Delta Method I had no clue what was going on but doing practice problems made it clear. Bayes continuous also took me a while to understand.
