For the class on Tuesday, please do exercises 12-15.

On Wednesday, we will cover Chapter 3 and 4, finishing on page 29 (please note that Section 4.2 is not on the syllabus).

For the class on Tuesday, please do exercises 10 and 11.

On Wednesday, we will finish Chapter 2 in the notes (page 24).

Next week we will have a lecture on Tuesday and a class on Wednesday (rather than the usual formula with classes on Tuesdays and lectures on Wednesdays). In the lecture on Tuesday, we will continue out studies of the multivariate Gaussian distribution, finishing on approximately page 17 in the lecture notes. 

For the class on Wednesday, please do exercises 6-9. I will be away on Wednesday, so Professor Nils Lid Hjort will be your substitute teacher.

The code for exercise 3 is available here on the course webpage (you may have to right click and click on "save link as" for it to download correctly).

Also, the bonus Python introduction video is now available here: https://youtu.be/nGh-qNHzqXQ

For the class on Tuesday, please do exercises 1 - 5.

In the lecture on Wednesday, we will see more examples of conjugate priors, and start looking at the multivariate Gaussian distribution (which will stay with us for quite some time). This will take us to approximately page 14.

Welcome to STK4021 - Applied Bayesian Analysis! I look forward to meeting you next week for the first set of lectures.

The syllabus for the course is collected in a compendium of lecture notes which can be found here on the course webpage. These include all the lecture material as well as the accompanying exercises, which I highly encourage you to attempt in your own time before seeing the solutions presented in classes. The classes will also go through solutions to the coding exercises, of which there are many scattered throughout the notes.

If you have any questions at all about the course please reach out to me via email at dchristensen@nr.no.

See you on Tuesday, August 20, at Auditorium 2 in Vilhelm Bjerknes' hus!
