Statistics for Inovation is a new centre for research-based innovation. The centre has The Norwegian Computing Centre as host institution and UiO and NTNU as accademic partners. In addition comes the partners Statoil, DnBNOR, Gjensidige, Hydro, Institute of Marine Research, Sencel, Biomolex, Pubgene, Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet, Smerud Medical research and Spermatech. The establishment of the centre opens up for a number of exciting oportunities for young statisticians. If you want to learn more about this, you should go to the inforation meeting Thursday November 30th, 12.15 – 13.00, room B71, N. H. Abels house. More information on the meeting is given here .
The oral exam in STK4080 will be held Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th December (the latter date only if needed). Only students who have handed in their project report by December 5th are allowed to take the oral exam (cf. the message of October 25th).
As has been discussed at the lectures, the exam in STK4080 will consist of a small project and an oral exam. The project, which will not be the same for everyone, will test the practical skills of the students, while the oral exam mainly will concentrate on the more teoretical sides of the course (but some questions on the project may be asked as well). The students will get their projects at the lectures Friday November 17th, and the deadline for handing in (or e-mailing) the written solution is Tuesday December 5th. The dates for the oral exam are not set yet, but it will most likely be in week 50. Students who do not attend the lectures Friday November 17th have to conntact ?rnulf Borgan no later than Monday November 20th to get their projects.
The exercise to week 44 is a "trial project" of similar type as the one that will be part of the exam. Those who want to, may hand in the solution for comments. (Deadline :November 3rd). The text of the "trial project" is given in Norwegian. Please let me know if that causes problems for someone.
In week 43 the lectures and exercises classes will be held Wednesday October 25th, 9.15-12.00, in room B70 Niels Henrik Abels house ("Mathematics building").
The course page is now updated with some information on the use of R for computing (see Computing ). Further one practical and one theoretical exercise are now given for week 40.
There are no lectures and exercise classes in week 38. In week 39 the lectures and exercises classes will be held Wednesday September 27th, 9.15-12.00, in room B70 Niels Henrik Abels house ("Mathematics building").
The lectures and exercise classes have been moved once more, and they will now be held on Fridays 11.15-14.00 in room Alfa&Omega at the Norwegian Computing Centre (unless otherwise stated; cf. below). The Norwegian Computing Centre is located at the top floor of the Informatics building (building GA04 at this map of the campus).
Note that there will be a change of times for the lectures and exercise classes in weeks 38, 39 and 43; see plans and status for the lectures for details.
The lectures and exercise class Friday September 1st, 10.15-13.00 will be in room Alfa&Omega at the Norwegian Computing Centre at the top floor of the Informatics building (building GA04 at this map of the campus.)
Remember that the deadline for exam registration is September 1st.
Due to a collision with other lectures, it has been decided to move the lectures and exercise classes in STK4080 to Fridays 10.15 - 13.00 (starting Friday September 1st). Information on where the lectures/exercises will take place will be posted as soon as it has been decided.
The lectures and exercise clases in STK4080 will be given in English the autumn 2006. The first lecture will be given Wednesday August 23rd, from 9.15 to 12.00 in room B70, N.H. Abels house.
The course will be based on the forthcomming book Event History Analysis: A Process Point of View by Aalen, Borgan, and Gjessing (Springer-Verlag, 2007). Copies of the relevant chapters of the book will be given to the students as the lectures proceed. Those how want to get a copy of the first chapter of the book before the lectures start, may contact ?rnulf Borgan at room B809, N.H. Abels house or (preferably) via e-mail (borgan@math.uio.no).
