TMA4285 - Time Series
To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection on NTNU’s campuses, we ask you to follow the advice on this page. After each lecture you should fill out a form for R3 or H1 due to the need for quick follow-up from the infection control office in case an infected person has been present in the room. Remember 1 meter.

12.11.2020: A more current problem is time series for Covid19. You have done a good job here! It seems to be concluded by most groups that the noise is better modelled by a GARCH. This is a novel finding for these data.

11.11.2020: Example of current research on correlation.

04.11.2020: Due to Covid 19 the exam will be a home exam with pass/fail grading. More information below.

21.09.2019: This week we start on the statistics part of the course, and will talk about:

04.09.20: The first mandatory project is posted. See further down.

02.09.20: Solutions to exercises are posted approximately two weeks after they have been announced. For example, the solution to the first set of exercises will be posted on Friday 04.09.20.

16.08.20: To prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection on NTNU’s campuses, we ask you to follow the advice on this page. After each lecture you should fill out a form for R3 or H1 due to the need for quick follow-up from the infection control office in case an infected person has been present in the room.

06.07.20: Welcome to the course! The first lecture will take place in R3 Wednesday August 19. The lectures will be given in English if any non-Scandinavian speaking students attend the lectures.

Week 47: Previous exams and exercises


Exam (80/100): Handwritten home exam with Pass/Fail grading, 25.11.2019, 4 hours. Collaboration is not allowed and is considered as cheating with corresponding possible consequences. Both the exam and the two mandatory exercises must result in Pass to obtain Pass in the course.

Eksamen skal gjennomføres på samme dato og innenfor samme tidsramme som opprinnelig oppsatt. Det vil bli en digital eksamen i Inspera. Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt. Bestått/ikke bestått benyttes i emnet.

Oppgaven har samme form som ved ordinær skriftlig eksamen. Besvarelser SKAL skrives for hånd og scannes via mobiltelefon over til PDF som lastes opp til Inspera. Det er en fordel om du har forsøkt å fotografere et større dokument og lagre som pdf på egen PC før eksamen. Oppskrift på lagring til PDF.

Mer informasjon om digital vurdering . Demoeksamen viser fasongen til prøven, men opplasting av besvarelse kan ikke prøves med den. Innlogging på Inspera gir adgang til flere andre demoeksamener hvor det også er mulig å laste opp besvarelse for uttesting på forhånd.

Work (20/100): Two exercises are mandatory and should be handed in to Jorge.
