Welcome to STK4051/STK9051

The first lecture will, through several examples, illustrate what kind of computational problems that occur in statistics/data analysis/machine learning. An overview of the type of methods that will be covered will be discussed as well.

If time, we will start on chapter two of the text book (see Syllabus).

I will mostly use presentations on the screen, but sometimes also the blackboard. Presentations are/will be available under Schedule.

We will typically use 2 hours for lecturing and 1 hour for going through exercises. 

Some exercises requires use of the computer. I will mainly use R, but other options are possible.
