The Student Council at the Department of Mathematics evaluates various courses given by the Department of Mathematics each year, and this semester STK2100 is among the chosen. We therefore hope that you would take the time to answer the evaluation by using the link below. All answers are anonymous and the evaluation should take about 10 minutes to complete.

?The link is also sent out on e-mail. Thank you for contributing to the improvement of education at the Department of Mathematics!
This is a copy of a message earlier given in Canvas:
On the course web page there is now a trial exam available. This is MUCH larger than an ordinary exam but show cover most of the topics discussed during the course. Except for those sessions that have been specifically devoted to given exercises, the result of the lectures and groups sessions will be used to answer questions related to the trial exam (and other exercises). Also suggested solutions to the trial exam are provided, but try to solve the exercises as much as possible without looking at these!
For the exam, we will follow the previous years in that the only permitted aid will be an approved calculator. However, List of formulas for STK2100 (and also STK1100/1110) will be given as part of the exam. Links to these are on the web page, get familiar with this in front of the exam.
Note that the session on Tuesday May 16 is cancelled.
The group sessions will from Monday be held at NHA107.

Hi!
I'll always try to publish solutions in advance of the group sessions so that you can ask questions about them and get help to understand them and solve the exercises. The last year's students preferred that the group sessions were similar to those you have had in STK1100/STK1100, so not plenary sessions where I talk for two hours. I'll continue with having group sessions where you actively participate and get one-on-one assistance, but I might do some calculations on the blackboard, go through code, et cetera, if several of you struggle with the same concepts/exercises. I'm open to feedback. See you. :)
Solution proposals to the weekly exercises.

Exercises for Monday Jan 30 is now put out. The main aims for these exercises (apart from the statistical parts) are
- Get familiar with the two textbooks we will use
- Get familiar with the use of R
- You should also work on these exercises BEFORE the session on Monday
Welcome to STK2100.
Due to a collision with other activities, the first week will contain no ordinary lectures but rather use recordings from spring 2022. The recordings and the presentation used are available under the schedule tab.
The main text book for the course will be Hastie et al (2009): Elements of Statistical learning. However, we will also use James et al (2013): An introduction to Statistical learning - with applications in R as supplementary material. The latter is an easier version of the former, with less mathematical details. Both books are available online. Look at the preliminary corriculum for more details. Further, the course will be a mix of statistical/mathematical theory and applied work on the computer. We will use R extensively.
The first physical event will be the plenary session on Mond...
