Semester page for STK4080 - Autumn 2018

Teachers

Don't be worried or alaramed, regarding the "bring a simple calculator for your exam" part of your practicalities & preparations. You might need to compute \sqrt{49} og \log(1 + 3.33) or 5.55/4.44, but nothing superdrastic. There's a webpage with semiprecise information regarding which calculators are *not* allowed for use for the exams, so follow these instructions:

As announced earlier, each candidate can bring to her or his exam table *one page of handwritten notes, in the student's own handwriting*.

I'm aware that I in one of my previous messages have written "one sheet of paper* (as below), but this is *not* to be interpreted as "two pages of the same sheet of paper*. Again: one page only.

"One more thing, regarding the four-hour exam: Students will be allowed (by me) to bring with them (a) a simple calculator, with no memory, just enough to compute \sqrt{49} and a bit of \log and \exp, perhaps; (b) *one sheet of paper, in their own handwriting* (where they may write anything they want, from E = mc^2 to a formula for the mean of a normal distribution with mean zero)."

1. On Mon Nov 19 I went through the Oblig, with time also used for the martingales, etc., and the exercise with n = 238 drug users in clinics, via Ch 10 hitting-time models; cf. R script com31b. I also started "repetisjon", looking back at our curriculum.

2. For Mon Nov 26, do these two exercises. (a) The drug users, once more, with Aalen-Gjessing model, of the type X_i(t) = c_0 \exp(x_i \beta) - (\mu_0 + \gamma x_i) t + W_i(t) reaching zero. (b) Suppose an event takes place in one of ten possible ways, corresponding to independent times T_1, ..., T_{10}, with hazard rates \alpha_1(s), ..., \alpha_{10}(s), and that the event happens when the first of these sub-events takes place. Find the hazard rate and survival curve for the time T to event.

3. On Mon Nov 26, we're in repetisjonsmodus, looking through our curriculum. Prepare, by having questions, concerning details or the bigger picture.
