Lab 04: Maximum likelihood estimation
This lab focuses on
using linear regression and statistical inference to draw conclusions about penguins living in Palmer Archipelago in Antarctica.
exploring maximum likelihood estimators and their connection to least-squares estimators

Reminder: Tips for working on a team
Do not pressure each other to finish early; use the time wisely to really learn the material and produce a quality report.
The labs are structured to help you learn the steps of a data analysis. Do not split up the lab among the team members; work on it together in its entirety.
Everyone has something to contribute! Use the lab groups as an opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other.
