welcome to the course
I look forward to giving the Bayesian Nonparametrics course. The teaching sessions take place in room 819 (8th floor, Abel Building), Tuesdays 9:15 to 12:00, and we start 20th of August. For most of these Tuesdays I intend to use the basic formula two hours teaching + one hour exercises (where one hour is a Blindern teaching hour, i.e. 45 minutes).
You ought to to check out the course website for STK 9190, spring semester 2018, with messages, exercise collection, and the Exam Project.
There are several books on Bayesian Nonparametrics, including Hjort, Holmes, Müller, Walker (Cambridge, 2010), where its introductory chapter will be part of the curriculum. The main course material will however be from Müller, Quintana, Jara, Hanson (Springer, 2015), "Bayesian Nonparametric Data Analysis". Please get hold of your own copy, perhaps via Amazon or eBay -- and I do think it's freely available as a pdf from the web via the Department of Mathematics.
