The exam problems are given here. A handwritten solution of the problems are given here.
The written exam in STK4011/9011 takes place Tuesday 8 December 9-13. See here for details.
Permitted aids at the written exam are the List of formulas for STK1100 and STK1110 and the Summary of results for STK4011/9011. Note that you have to bring your own copies of these aids at the exam and that you are not allowed to write anything in them.
Note that only the students who have handed in the home exam are allowed to take the written exam.
The last teaching in the course takes place Thursday 3 December 12.15-15. Then we will look at the problems of the exam in 2013.
Solutions of the problems to the home exam are given here.
There will not be any formal evaluation of STK4011/9011 this semester. But those who have feedback on the course (both the teaching and the curriculum) may send an email to the study administration at the department (email: studieinfo@mn.uio.no) or to Ørnulf Borgan (email: borgan@math.uio.no).
Thursday November 19th the lectures will cover (most of) the following material:
- section 10.3.2: to the midle of page 495

The courses STK4011 (for master's students) and STK9011 (for PhD-students) have joint lectures and exercises.
The teaching takes place Thursdays from 12.15 to 15.00 in room 1036 at the 10th floor of Niels Henrik Abel's house. The teaching starts Thursday 20 August.

Later weeks the three hours of teaching will be a mixture of lectures and exercises.
Information about course book and (tentative) curriculum is given under Syllabus/achievement requirements.
