25		printed: tally(death ~ victim, data = DeathPenalty) correct: tally(death ~ defendant, data = DeathPenalty)
	Exercise 1.20	geyser is in the MASS package (see page 14). Use MASS::geyser to access this data set.
285	last line	printed: $-2n\pi$ correct: $-n\pi$
286	lines 9-10	printed: correct when $\pi_0 = 0$ but overestimates … when $\pi_0 > 0$ correct: correct when $\pi_0 = 1/2$ but overestimates … when $\pi_0 \neq 1/2$
331		The problem could be clarified to indicate that the first moment is not useful. The second moment could be used.
373		printed: $W = -2 \log\left(\frac{L(\theta_0)}{L(\hat\theta)} \right) = 2 \left(\log(\hat \theta) - \log(\theta_0)\right) \approx I(\hat \theta) (\theta_0 - \hat\theta)^2$ correct: $W = -2 \log\left( \frac{L(\theta_0)}{L(\hat\theta)} \right) = 2 \left(l(\hat \theta) - l(\theta_0)\right) \approx I(\hat \theta) (\theta_0 - \hat\theta)^2$
380	lines 6, 11, 13	printed: pnorm(), pchisq(), pchisq() correct: qnorm(), qchisq(), qchisq().
388		printed: The assymptotic distribution of $\Lambda$ correct: The assymptotic distribution of $W = -2 \log(\Lambda)$
389		printed: makLik correct: maxLik
446	Exercise 5.18	printed: log of the odds ratio correct: log of the odds

498	line 5	printed: internally studentized residuls correct: internally studentized residuals
747	Exercise A.11	Unfortunately, the weatherData package has been removed from CRAN. Similar data now live in mosaicData::Weather, but the data for several cities are already contained in a single data frame, so there is no need to merge from multiple sources.
