During the extended exam, I will be available on email geirs@math.uio.no for questions

In the last sentence the reference to the figure below should be the figure above

There is some mixup in the use of successes and failures in the description of the NegBin distribution, but just use the formulaes which should be right.

If there are questions during exam, send an email to geirs@math.uio.no and I will answer. If there are general issues showing up during the exam, these will be published on the semester web page for the course (on the STK4021 page). You should therefore check the web-page a few times during the exam.

To students with a digital home exam at the Department of Mathematics autumn 2020.

The following guidelines apply in general:
- The examination lasts 4 hours. In addition, there will be 30 min extra time for scanning and uploading your PDF.
- All examination aids are allowed (e.g. books, online resources, scientific programming tools, etc.).
- It is not allowed to cooperate or communicate with other regarding the exam during the examination.
- You can be picked out for a meeting to check that you understand the content of your examination attempt. The meeting will not affect your grade, but can result in a formal investigation into possible cheating. Read more about what is considered cheating on the UiO web pages: /english/about/regulations/studies/studies-examinations/routines-cheating.html
- The general guidelines for exams at the MN-Faculty autumn 2020 still apply:...

At one point in the compulsory it was written posterior_intervals instead of posterior_interval. This is now corrected.

Thanks to Thomas for noticing this.

Some of you have had problems in installing rstan/rstanarm om windows machines. Under Resources there is a description on how to run directly on one of the UiO servers.

The command

DeerEcervi$Ecervi <- DeerEcervi$Ecervi>0

that transfers the response to a binary variable was missing. This is now corrected.

Thanks to Rolf for noticing this.

The compulsory exercise is now available.

Note that part of the exercise is based on tools that we will discuss the next weeks.

You are allowed to ask questions about the exercise.

You are also allowed to collaborate, but all students need to hand in their own report.

The report has to be delivered in Canvas.

For the written exam, textbook and written notes are allowed.

For PhD students, an additional 10 minutes presentation has to be given (can be done digital). Topic will be given later.

The compulsory exercise will be published on the webpage (and probably Canvas) on Thursday October 8 with a deadline Thursday October 29.

On Tuesday Sep 22 we will have an evaluation of the course so far. For those of you only attending the course digitally, please send and possible comments to the student representative.

Geir

Chrstiffer has kindly volunteered to be one of the student representatives. We do however need one more, preferable one of those only following the course digital. Anyone?

R-scripts used in lecture or exercises will be put out in the rscript folder.

There were now problems with space in the lecture room to day, so we do have space for a few more students!

Lecture notes for the first lecture is now available under "Schedule". I will try to put these out before the lectures.

I believe/hope that the lecture room will have space enough for everybody, but due to the Corona pandemic we are not allowed to be too many. In case we will be too many, I will give priority to master students! Note however that the lecture will also be available digital.

Geir

We plan that there will be given ordinary teaching in the lecture room as given in the schedule. However, due to the coronavirus, the lectures will also be recorded and made available after the lecture.

The teaching will be given in English.
