Course: MS-C1620 - Statistical Inference, Lecture, 9.1.2023-19.4.2023, Topic: Lectures

Lectures

The course lectures are on Thursdays at 8.15-10.00 in the hall U2.

The lectures will be video recorded, so you can watch them afterwards. Also available are recordings from spring 2022 Zoom lectures. Note that the lecture room videos have 2--3 video streams (camera + one or two screens). You can switch between them when watching from Panopto.

On the live lectures, you are encouraged to ask questions. Sometimes the questions may warrant a longer answer than I can provide on the lecture, and I will post extended answers here under the Q&A thread. (The thread also contains questions and answers from the previous year.)

In the column "Planned topic", you can find the slides for the planned lecture. Actual lectures may run faster or slower. If the actual lectures are lagging behind, you may want to read the slides on your own, for example, if you need tools for the exercises. Until updated, slides from previous year are available here.
