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. \vspace{1ex} Happy hacking! \vspace{5ex} \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{5ex} \textbf{Dates:} Deadline for uploading the code and the presentation on ILIAS is\\[2ex] \centerline{\textbf{Sunday, February 21st, 2021, 23:59h}.}\vspace{2ex} 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{5ex} \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{5ex} \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. \vspace{1ex} \emph{Please note your name and matriculation number as a comment at the top of the \texttt{main.m} script.} \vspace{5ex} \textbf{Presentation:} Hand in your presentation as a pdf file. 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! \vspace{1ex} }} \vspace*{\fill} \vspace*{\fill} \newpage
