We will shortly start going through the exams and you will receive a grade during the next few weeks (here are the exam text and a solution proposal). In the meantime,?we would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to fill out this online course evaluation form. Your feedback is very important and it will help us when preparing future versions of the course.

Hope you all have a nice and relaxing summer!

I will not be able to do a lecturer's round at Silurveien during the exam myself today, but?Riccardo De Bin will do it in my place, at some point around 1-2 hours after the start of the exam. If there is something unclear about the exam questions, you can ask him about it then.

I have received a few questions about the support material for the exam. You are allowed to bring with you any printed and hand-written material, and you should also bring with you an approved calculator.

The exam text and solution proposal from the extra exercise session are available here and here.

Based on the votes, we will have the extra (and non-mandatory) exercise session on Tuesday next week (June 20) at 14:15-16:00, in room 126 in the Niels Henrik Abels (NHA) building. See you then!

Hi everyone! If there is enough interest, we could arrange an extra exercise session in week 21 in preparation for the upcoming exam. Then, we will look at some problems from an earlier exam, and you will also have the opportunity to ask about things from the course material. So, everyone that would be interested in such a exercise session, could you please go to this online form and check the proposed dates and times that would work for you. Thank you!

Note that the deadline for submitting the second mandatory assignment is today at 14:30.

The second mandatory assignment is now available?here. The report should be submitted through Canvas and the deadline for submission is April 16 at 14:30 (Wednesday before Easter). Note that there is?only one attempt?to pass the assignment and you need to make a genuine attempt to solve the problems in order to pass. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the problems and/or report (note also that you can update your submitted solutions up until the deadline).
Happy solving!

Note that the second week of teaching starts tomorrow. You will find the material that will be covered in the lecture page. We will follow the same format as in the first week, that is, lectures in the morning and exercises in the afternoon. See you tomorrow!

As a reminder, the deadline for submitting assignment 1 is tomorrow (Thursday 6.3) at 14:30.

I had to re-assign the first assignment to you in Canvas due to a technical mistake. If you already had submitted your report, please go in to Canvas and check if your submission is still there, and re-submit if needed. Sorry for this! :)

The first mandatory assignment is now available here. The report should be submitted through Canvas and the deadline for submission is March 6 at 14:30. Note that there is?only one attempt(!)?to pass the assignment and you need to make a genuine attempt to solve the problems in order to pass. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the problems and/or report (note also that you can update your submitted solutions up until the deadline).
Happy solving!

The first week of teaching starts tomorrow at 9:15 in Auditorium 1 (VB). See you all then!

For the exercise classes, we will divide up into two groups:

• Group A: all students whose last name begins with A-J;
• Group B: all students whose last name begins with K-?;

Group A will begin with pen-and-paper exercises in UE26 (NHA) at 12:15-14:00 and then move on to computer exercises in UE32 (NHA) at 14:15-16:00. Conversely, group B will begin with computer exercises and then move on to pen-and-paper exercises.

Welcome to the Spring 2025 version of STK4900/9900. This year the lectures will be given by Johan Pensar, and the exercise classes will be held by Alfonso Diz-Lois Palomares and Hedvig Borgen Reiersrud. 

Teaching: The course follows an intensive format over two separate weeks: February 10.-14.(week 7) and March 17.-21. (week 12). During these two weeks, we will each day have lectures 9:15-12:00, followed by a lunch break, and then exercise classes 12:15-16:00 (both paper-and-pen and computer exercises). We will be using R as programming language in the computer exercises and examples during the lectures. 

Course material: It will be possible to learn a lot from the lecture slides and exercise classes. The recommended textbook is Regression methods in biostatistics by Vittinghoff el al. (see Syllabus for more details), which is available online through the UiO library.
