Brian Ripley's Talks

PostScript versions of the slides (and references) of various talks are available from our ftp server. Some are formatted for US letter paper, but most for A4. There is considerable overlap in material.

These are all gzip-ed or compressed PostScript files. Some browsers do not use the suggested file name and may omit the .gz part. In case of difficulty please download (shift-click in Netscape) rather than view these files: the intention is that where PostScript viewers are associated with the browser the files should be un-gzipped and displayed automatically.
