Here is a suggested solution to the exam for both STK4900 and STK9900 (perhaps with a few more comments than strictly necessary).
The grading will be done and the results available late next week.
As for previous years exams you can bring
"All printed and hand-written resources. Approved calculator."
In particular remember the calculator. Statistical tables will be provided at the exam.
We figured that it might be useful with one more orakel service before the exam, so Room U32 is reserved also on Monday 11/6, 12:15-14:00.
If you have question regarding the course curriculum you can show up in Undervisningsrom UE32 (BL14UE32) in Niels Henrik Abels Hus on Tuesday 12th, 12-14 and we will answer your questions! UE32 is on the floor below the entrance floor.

instead of Auditorium 1.
The deadline has been extended to Monday April 9th, 14:30 (mainly because the administration did not like deadlines after working hours).
We have decided to extend the time for the exercise to 12:30-14:00 for the first session and 14:15-15:45, so that we start 15 minutes earlier and end 15 minutes later.
Anouk Tosca Klootwijk (a.t.klootwijk at geo.uio.no) has volunteered to be student representative for STK4900 and STK9900. Thanks Anouk!
You are encourage to send her an email regarding suggestions for improving the teaching of the course. Please put STK4900 or STK9900 in the email header.
The examination in STK4900 and STK9900 will be written exams on June 15th.
To be allowed to take the exams you need to pass the two mandatory exercises to be handed in April 4th and May 11th.
For examples and exercises we will use the statistics program R. Many of you will prefer to use R-studio.
Both R and R-studio can be downloaded to your computer free of charge on windows, mac and linux-platforms from http://cran.r-project.org/
If you have problems installing R help will be given at computer exercises.
It is possible to learn a lot from the slides of the lectures, which will be made available on this page when we get closer to teaching weeks. The recommended textbook is Vittinghof, E., Glidden, D., Shiboski,S.C. and McCullogh, C. (2005) or (2012), Regression methods in biostatistics, Springer. All references in lecture slides and exercises will be given to the 2012 edition of the book.
The book is available as e-book, and can be freely accessed and down loaded as a pdf file as long as you are on the UiO net
Welcome to STK4900/9900! The first intensive part of the course takes place in week 12, from 19th-23rd of March. We will have lectures every day from 9.15-12.00, then there will be a lunch break, followed by exercises and R-exercises in groups. The exercises are from 12.45-15.30. One group will have R-exercises 12.45-14.00 and exercises 14.15-15.30; the second group will start with exercises 12.45-14.00 and have R-exercises 14.15-15.30.
As a preparation to the first part of the course, the students are encouraged to recapitulate the main themes of Chapters 6, 7, 10 and 11 in the course book for STK1000; see here for details (or the similar material in another introductory book in statistics).
