Welcome to STK 4160 / 9160 spring semester 2015

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 semester 2013, containing also a collection of Lecture Notes and Exercises. There are lectures 12:15 to 15:00 on Thursdays, starting Jan 22, and in most cases the teaching will be structured as two hours of lecturing plus one hour of working through exercises.
