\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.
