I'll put stuff relevant to the REU 2005 site up here
Starting with Monday's Powerpoint slides
And Tuesday's practice life tables spreadsheet
Here is the variance covariance matrix for survival
vc = [0.005858062 0.001566287 0.000944034;
0.001566287 0.009627652 0.000942896;
0.000944034 0.000942896 0.002957415]
with S0, S1, and S2 in the rows. It should be in matlab format I think.
Here is the "new" thistle matrix in a word document.
