book re-compilation

[kernicholson]

Am I missing something? Ive been trying to walk through segments of the book and the example data that is downloaded with MARK does no t match what is in the book. For instance, chapter 3 and 4 talk about male only dipper data - ED_MALES.inp but this is unavailable all I can find is the dipper.inp file that comes with the example data has both males and female information which is then discussed in chapter 6. The AA.inp file in chapter 4 (pg 20) also the file called interval.inp (pg 4-26) isn't available (at least by those names), same with chapter 19's example data. Was there somewhere else where I should have gotten the example data from so I can follow along better with the book?

Thank you! I knew I had to be missing something very simple!! I was only looking at the files that came with MARK download, not for files on line.

Hello,

I would like to point out a minor potential typo for the pims on page 7-25 of the age and cohort chapter of the latest mark book. For the adult group pim there is a 15 inserted into the 4th line of the fith time period which, I think, should be a 16.

Cheers,
Richard.

Not quite the latest - you're probably looking at the 'single file PDF' version of the book. That is now out of date (at least in terms of pagination). In the canonical version of Chapter 7 (which you can access as an individual chapter), the PIM referred to is on p. 24 (and, as it turns out, is also on p. 23).

Nonetheless...

For the adult group pim there is a 15 inserted into the 4th line of the fith time period which, I think, should be a 16.

Cheers,
Richard.

Absolutely correct. Thanks for spotting it. Fixed in the current version of chapter 7, which I uploaded a few moments ago.

I'm sure this is absolutely the last typo in the entire book (all 950 pages or so). Yeah...right.

Cheers!

My pleasure, and thank you for such an enjoyable and approachable book.

Just did another recompile of the whole book (uploaded as of 5 minutes ago) - clear the pagination differences between the individual chapters and the previous compilation were causing a few issues. A number of things cleaned up, minor font tweaks, and some major reformatting of a number of equations in some chapters.

Also came up with a new 'front cover' - I suppose because I'm now in touch with my inner 'sensitive artiste', or some such.

With the completion of the semester (which often coincides with using the book in class, and having lots of eyeballs spotting typos and such), I've just re-collated and re-formatted the book, in both portrait and landscape orientations. They're both now available online at the usual place:

Reminder that individual chapter files are always the most recent version -- simply check the compilation/revision timestamp, printed in the lower-right corner of the first page of each chapter.

Latest and greatest -- individual chapters updated n various places (fair number of typo fixes), and new compilations of book as a single indexed PDF file (both regular portrait and rotated double-column landscape).

just to note that in the 2014 version, page 18-14 (Chapter 18, page 14) is blank... and lacks table of contents... hope it helps
