This is your project assignment. Please read the instructions before starting your work.
Do not understand the assignment as an exhaustive TODO list, rather the questions below are hints that are meant to guide you and allow for a smoother start. Do not feel limited by the questions; we want to see you diving into it.
This is your specific project assignment. The project applies
topics from the course on real or simulated data, or is about
concepts we haven't covered yet. Work yourself into the data and
the topic and in the end present your insights to your fellow
students. The instructions to your project are meant as a guide to
get you started, but feel free to come up with own ideas. Do not
feel limited by the questions. We want to see you diving into it.
Do not hesitate to contact us for help on problems and to discuss
your ideas.

Happy hacking!

\textbf{Evaluation criteria:}
For your grade we mainly evaluate the technical aspects of your
code and figures. You can view the evaluation criteria in
\emph{SciCompScoreSheet.pdf} on Ilias.
\vspace{2ex}
\textbf{Dates:}
Deadline for uploading the code and the presentation on ILIAS is\\
\centerline{\textbf{Sunday, February 21st, 2021, 23:59h}.}
The presentations are on Monday February 22nd, 09:30--12:00, Tuesday
February 23rd, 9:30--11:00 and Wednesday 24th, 09:30--12:00.
\vspace{2ex}
\textbf{Files:}
Bundle everything (the code, the data, and the pdf of the
presentation) into a {\em single} zip-file named with your last
name.
\textbf{Hint:} create the zip file you want to upload, unpack it
somewhere else on your computer and check if your main script
is still running properly.
\vspace{2ex}
\textbf{Code:}
The code must be executable without any further adjustments from
our side --- test it! A single \texttt{main.m} script
coordinates the analysis by calling functions and/or sub-scripts
(see Box 1.10 in chapter~1) which produce the {\em same} figures
(\texttt{saveas()}-function, pdf or png format) that you use in
your slides (of course your code can also generate additional
figures). The code must be comprehensible by a third person (use
proper and consistent variable and function names and document
the code, see chapter~4). \textbf{Hint:} Find out what RTFM
means and act accordingly ;). You are allowed and even
encouraged to use the internet for every aspect of your project.
You can view the evaluation criteria on the
\emph{SciCompScoreSheet.pdf} on Ilias.
\vspace{1ex}
\textbf{Dates:}
The code and the presentation must be uploaded to ILIAS
\textbf{at latest on Sunday, February 21st, 2021, 23:59h}. We
will store all presentations on one computer to allow for fast
transitions between talks.
The presentations are on Monday February 22nd, 09:30--12:00, Tuesday
February 23rd, 9:30--11:00 and Wednesday 24th, 09:30--12:00.

\textbf{Files:}
\textbf{Hand in your presentation as a pdf file.} Bundle everything (the
pdf, the code, and the data) into a {\em single} zip-file named with your last name.
\textbf{Hint:} create the zip file you want to upload, unpack it
somewhere else on your computer and check if your main script is still running properly.

\emph{Please note your name and matriculation number as a
comment at the top of the \texttt{main.m} script.}
\vspace{1ex}
\textbf{Presentation:}
\vspace{1ex}
The presentation should be {\em at most} 10\,min long and be held
in English. In the presentation you should present figures
introducing, explaining, showing, and discussing your data,
methods, and results. All data-related figures shown in the
presentation must be produced by your program --- no editing
or labeling by PowerPoint or other software. It is always a good
idea to illustrate the problem with basic plots of the
raw-data. Make sure the axis labels are large enough!
