News from Evanston

Hi guys,

is it all OK, wherever you are?

I would like to give you some updates from Evanston, since I've some time. But, to tell the truth, I'm quite tired, perhaps due to the jet-lag, but more probably because I've spent all day walking into the Campus among several offices, in order to have an account, an ID... but it is just like in Italy, everyone says to go to the next office, and no-one solves anything... At the end, they told me to wait until Monday... I'll see...

Moreover, I see two apartments, and I just choose to join into the second one, with a young guy who study biology... at the end, also in US I'll be in the same room with another person... but I'm sure I'll be all OK.

I will give you more precise information about Evanston and Northwestern University as soon as I discover, until now I know NU is really big (obviously the offices where they send me time by time were on opposite side of the campus...), while its Statistics' Department is very small, nothing compared with our...

Take care!

Negativity

In my opinion there is too much pessimism all-around: in this week, when you leave me alone, I've been adopted by post-doc, who describe a gloomy future; Marlies came one times, saying that we both will feel bad in our visiting period; I spoke with a third year PhD student and he said he is in a bad situation... is there any favourable person in this f***ing Department?

If you really don't want to follow the optimism of your Presidente del Consiglio, at least think to Coles' words: "statistics is beautiful => life is beautiful!!!"

"Ma vi perdono, perché in fondo portate nel cuore, sangue che è destinato a seccare, vivete un morire" (cit.)

"I forgive you, because actually you have in the heart blood that is going to dry, you live a death"

I will derive...

I have the log-likelihood, what do you think I will have to do to find the MLE?
