Numerical Optimization, Integration & EM – Practice Quiz

Practice numerical tools behind statistical fitting: likelihood and log-likelihood, stable log-sum-exp, root finding, quadrature and expectation maximization. Use small calculations to diagnose convergence, local solutions and mixture-model instability. Practice progresses from concepts through worked applications to assumption checks and synthesis. Prerequisites: probability, sampling distributions and the preceding resampling curriculum. Includes single-select and multiselect practice with worked solutions and distractor analysis.
