\section{Section 1}

This is section 1. A table is shown below

\begin{table}[h!t!]
\begin{center}
\caption{Estimation results for CTAR(1) (non-linear, known
threshold).}
\begin{tabular}{|ll|cc|cc|}\hline
&&\multicolumn{2}{c}{$T$=100}\vline& \multicolumn{2}{c}{$T$=500}\vline\\
\cline{3-6}
 $h$& & Sample mean  & Estimated variance & Sample mean &  Estimated variance\\
    & & of estimators            & of estimators & of estimators            & of estimators \\ \hline
0.001  & $a_1^{(1)}$ & 6.0450 &0.41207 &5.9965 &0.07185\\
       & $a_1^{(2)}$ & 1.5240 &0.04824 &1.4986 &0.00891\\ \hline
\end{tabular}\\

\end{table}

\section{Section 2}

This is section 2. If you want to cite a paper like this
\citet*{Statland1965}, look at the command I use in the thesis tex
file. For other useful citation commands, google it. A good free
software called JabRef, used to organize the references bib file is
recommended by Derek Sonderegger.  Another useful
tidbit is to get bibtex references from within Google Scholar.  Once
you set bibtex in the preferences, you can get complete bibtex entries
for any reference  you find via Google Scholar.

A plot is shown
here
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centerline{\psfig{figure=brownian.eps,height=9.5cm,width=15cm,angle=0}}
\caption{A sample path of a Brownian motion.}
\end{figure}

This plot uses eps (postscript).  More people are using pdf files for the figures
these days.  The nice thing about this is that you can skip a step in the compiling and
go right to pdf.  The code for a plot is below.
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\includegraphics[width=4.25cm]{brownian.pdf}
\caption{A sample path of a Brownian motion.}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
This is especially useful within a package like TexnicCenter because you can latex to pdf without the extra ps step.
