Review

Tuesday: Review Slides. Discuss Rnotes provided in class for the latest version of the CHILDES dative data. The revised data are also provided in a csv file. Reading assignment.

Thursday: Continue course Review. More Slides. Evaluation statistics for logistic regression models; deconstruction of concordance.fnc. Plan the writing of the final paper for the group project.

Consider how the author's treatment of persistence differs from the ``paral'' variable in our CHILDES dative database. How should we have measured persistence in the CHILDES data?
