Homework 3


In this homework you'll be thinking about the Friends for Sale facebook application. You'll be given access to internal data from the FFS application. Siqi Chen has written up a detailed overview of the types data you can expect, which you can find here:  FFSschema.txt. In a group of 4 people, pose 5 questions about the FFS data, and say a little about why each question is relevant/worthwhile. Remember that next week your group is going to go ahead and try to answer these questions, so make sure they're feasible!
Please submit ONE email per group to email removed by Sunday at 5pm.

Also, don't forget to read Bo Cowgill's paper on prediction markets before next class: http://www.bocowgill.com /GooglePredictionMarketPaper .pdf
