Traps to remember
Mixing rates per hour and per day in Poisson-process questions.
Reporting instead of its inverse as the variance of the MLE.
Using degrees of freedom equal to the number of parameters in a nested test instead of the difference.
Stationarity conditions: AR(1) needs ; MA(q) is always stationary.
