Default C4 Practice Exam Question

Does anyone know if the syllabus has changed since the November 2000 exam? I worked through the exam and found a few problems that were not covered in either the ASM or the Actex study manual (e.g, the Dirichlet distribution and Turnbull's modification of the Product-Limit Estimator). I could be wrong since I did not thoroughly go through the text but can someone please help shed some lights?

Thank you

there was a change; not sure when... ignore the stuff that isn't referenced... it's either gone or soooo obscure it will never be seen again.... (there's always one or two loopy questions....)

Gordon Klein (how to pass author) has a document on what was removed from the Course 4 syllabus, including exam questions no longer relevant.

Thank you very much for the information. The link is extremely helpful. I feel much better now knowing the questions that are unfamiliar will not be on the exam.

Thanks again!
