Learning outcome
1. Knowledge. The student has knowledge about the most popular statistical models and methods that are used for prediction in science and technology, with emphasis on regression- og classification-type statistical models. 2. Skills. The student can, based on an existing data set, choose a suitable statistical model, apply sound statistical methods, and perform the analyses using statistical software. The student can present, interpret and communicate the results from the statistical analyses, and knows which conclusions can be drawn from the analyses, and what are the caveats.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises and compulsory works (projects). The assessment is a final written examination (100%), whereas two projects need to be completed as compulsory activities, where at least 60% of the points must be reached to be admitted to the exam. The lectures may be given in English.
Compulsory assignments
- Project
Further on evaluation
The re-sit exam may be changed to an oral exam. If the course is taught in English, the exam may be given only in English.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is based on TMA4240/4245 Statistics, or equivalent. Good understanding of linear algebra (matrix methods) and optimization.
