Meeting Time & Room

I intend to use part of Lehmann and Casella's book on point estimation , Lehmann's book on Testing Hypotheses and Jim Berger's book on Bayesian Decision theory.

Other than the traditional subjects such as point estimation, testing hypotheses,and confidence intervals, if time allowed I may also discuss shrinkage estimation, and permutation tests, which arises frequently in recent applications.
