Weekly exercises

STK3100 - Introduction to Generalized Linear Models

Weekly exercises

Here you find the weekly exercises for the coming week, as well as an overview of exercises for past weeks. The week number refers to when the exercises will be discussed in the exercise class. The exercises are divided into "should", which you should prioritise, and "could", that you may do if you want an additional challenge.

To learn the material well, it is important to spend time and make real efforts on trying to solve the exercises, preferably before the exercise class.
