Mandatory assignment
The course has one mandatory assignment that must be approved in order to qualify for taking the final exam.?
The deadline for submitting assignments is Thursday, April 23 at 14:30 with the submission happening in Canvas.?
The assignment description and related documents are available in the course GitHub repository at https://github.uio.no/thordist/STK4150_V26/tree/main/project
In addition, each student will get a different dataset to analyse. To obtain a dataset, send an email to the teacher to confirm that you plan to hand in a project, and you will receive your dataset over email. You can also use a dataset of your own choice if the data you have in mind can be appropriately modelled under the modelling framework described in part 2 of the project.?
The assignment should be formatted as a single pdf document using a typesetting software for mathematics (e.g. LaTeX) where you include your answers, as well as both code and the necessary code outputs (e.g. figures) for a reproducible report of your work.?
All aids, including collaboration, are allowed, but the submission must be written by you and reflect your understanding of the assignment.?
The assignment submissions will be discussed in class on Monday, May 4. All students are expected to attend class that day and take part in this discussion.?
For further information about the department's rules regarding mandatory assignments, see here. ?
Some hints for solving the assignment:?
For problem 1, note that it is not necessary to submit the code as a part of the report if you have only made minor change to the code that is given in the assignment. You can provide smaller chunks if you have made updates to these, or describe what changes you have made in, e.g., parameter settings. You can also link to your version of the code if you have it openly available.?
