Collaboration with 1 or 2 other classmates on this assignment is permitted and even encouraged. List the people you worked with, but for record-keeping purposes, each member of the team must upload a separate copy of the problem.
If possible, please either include a link to the paper(s) on which your problem is based or upload a pdf of the paper.
1. Please NAME your problem file using this convention:
[Last name of student author closest to the beginning of the alphabet]_ + Ch_ + [Chapter numbers of EBD-2 where material is covered]_ + [a word or two about the topic].
Example: John Brown, Sally Green and Joe Black wrote a problem about brain tumors that has material about ROC curves (Chapter 3) and spectrum bias (Chapter 4). ALL THREE STUDENTS IN THE GROUP would name their problem: "Black_Ch3_4_Brain_tumors.doc". (If you want to add a date at the end, that's fine.)
2. Please name the pdfs of any included articles on which your problem is based starting exactly the same way. If the article was by Gold et al from JAMA in 2019, you could name it
"Black_Ch3_4_Brain_tumors_Gold_JAMA_2019.pdf"
THANK YOU!
