Welcome to STK2100!

The teaching will each week consist of 4 hours of lectures (Tuesdays and Wednesdays), as well as 2 hours of exercise classes on Mondays, where you can get help solving the weekly exercises. Note that there are no exercises in week 4, and hence, no exercise classes on Monday January 20th.

On the semester page, plans for the lectures will be published in the schedule, and the weekly exercises will be published on "Weekly exercises' under 'Exercises'.

We will use the text book: Hastie et al (2009): Elements of Statistical learning. The book James et al (2013): An introduction to Statistical learning - with applications in R can be used as supplementary material. The latter is an easier version of the former, with less mathematical details. Both books are available online. Further, the course will be a mix of statistical/mathematical theory and applied work on the computer. We will use R extensively.

Looking forward to seeing you on January 21st!
