On Monday August 25, Robert ¡­

On Monday August 25, Robert Tibshirani (one of the authors of our textbook) will be in Oslo and give a talk. This is an excellent chance to listen to one of the most influential researcher within this field. He is the main inventor of the Lasso method, which we will discuss in the lecture in a few weeks (page 64 in the textbook) and his talk will probably include some about this. Even though you perhaps will have some difficulties in understanding everything in the talk, it will give an impression on what is going on in research in this field. The talk will be Monday August 25, kl. 14.00-15.00, Domus Medica, room Nye Auditorium 13 (see map, nr. 19, first floor)
