Quick link: For those looking for the third Compulsory Exercise, it's linked here. The deadline is Friday 1yth November 2023, at midnight.

Exam & Revision

NEW: Here is the exam, and here are the solutions.

The exam is on Tuesday 5th December, starting at 15:00.

This is what you are permitted:

Permitted examination support material: C - Tabeller og formler i statistikk (Tapir forlag, Fagbokforlaget), - one yellow A4 sheet with your own handwritten notes (stamped by the Department of Mathematical Sciences), - specified calculator

For revision, I have booked the following rooms and times for revision session:

  • Monday 27th November 10:15 - 12:00 in F4
  • Friday 1st December 10:15-12:00-ish in Galleri 4 (the room is free afterwards, so if you turn up at 11:59 I am happy to continue)

You can turn up to ask for help about any topics in the course. I am also happy to field questions by email, if that is easier.

If you are unable to turn up to either session, I should be able to arrange a different session.

Previous exams are here: 2017 and 2018 are closest in terms of the weighting of theory and use of GLMs. Note that you will not have access to R (and hence there will not be any programming in the exam, although you will be expected to understand code that is presented to you).

Module 1

Module 2

This module is split over 2 weeks, and also has a compulsory exercise, where you can make an R package to do what the lm() function already does. If you can do this, it means you understand how regression works (as well as how to make an R package). The deadline for handing in the compulsory exercise will be the end of Friday 15th September.

The Notes contain all of the information in the Module, for both weeks.
