welcome to stk 4160, spring 2017

Welcome, everyone, to the course on statistical model selection and model averaging. The course book is Claeskens and Hjort's "Model Selection and Model Averaging" (Cambridge University Press, 2008), which is or will be available at Akademika, or may be ordered from the publisher, or amazon. During the course you will need to work with datasets from the book, available here:

Also, you may check the course website from the spring semesters 2015 and 2013, containing also a collection of Lecture Notes and Exercises. There are lectures 9:15 to 12:00 on Tuesdays, starting Jan 24 (I'm lecturing at the Geilo Winter School the previous week), and in most cases the teaching will be structured as two hours of lecturing plus one hour of working through exercises.
