\begin{questions}
  \question To publish scientific results, you will usually need to
  use statistical methods. Some journals provide you with a brief
  description of how they expect you to apply statistical methods. One
  example can be found in the author guidelines of the journal
  Nature. 

  Assume you collected the following dataset. You can download it from
  Ilias as {\tt example000.csv}. Here is the description of the dataset:

  \begin{quotation}
    \tt 
    \input{../examples/example000.tex}
  \end{quotation}

  \begin{parts}
    \part Download the dataset and write a script that loads it into
    matlab. 

    \part Think about the type of your data (I might ask you that
    tomorrow).

    \part Produce a plot that displays the data in an appropriate
    way. Make sure to respect all elements of good plotting we
    discussed today.

    \part Download the statistical checklist from nature. Produce {\bf
      one} slide that contains the plot and a concise summary of your
    data which respects the requirements made by nature (assume you
    are producing a figure legend for the figure in nature). It is
    good style to avoid expressions like ``the plot shows'' or
    similar. 

    \part Upload your code, the data, and the slide as a zip to
    Ilias. Deadline is 19h00. Structure the zip such that you can
    present you program in front of the class. Several students will
    be asked to present their slide and their code tomorrow morning. 

  \end{parts}
