welcome to the course

The stk4011 course will be taught Mondays (Undervisninsrom 126) and Wednesdays (Undervisningsrom 108), 12:15 to 14:00. We start Monday August 21.

The teaching material will be a partial and preliminary version of a book-to-be, "Statistical Inference: 555 Exercises and 55 Stories" (Cambridge University Press), by Nils Lid Hjort and Emil Aas Stoltenberg. A pdf will be made available in early August, essentially consisting of that book-to-be's Chapters 1-8 plus about 25 of the Statistical Stories. These stories are based on real data and with real questions and themes, illustrating concepts, methods, algorithms, interpretations, from the chapters included. All exercises and all stories we go through are part of the active curriculum.
