Course syllabus

During the course the student will individually perform a statistical work presented in a scientific paper. The work may consist of statistical data analysis, evaluation of statistical methods or review and summary of literature on some statistical area. The subject dealt with may be linked to ongoing research at the university, be a deepening of the work of a consulting nature or treat one's own area of interest. The thesis can be an extension of the Bachelor thesis or totally independent. The thesis is presented and defended orally at an open seminar. The course also includes examination, evaluation and discussion of other students' theses.


The course consists of tutorials, lectures and seminars, where most of the seminars are mandatory.
The course starts January 17 at 09.15, and is given at 50 % study pace the whole semester. 
You should decide on a thesis topic by January 19. You can choose among proposed suggestions or suggest a topic yourself. If you want to suggest a topic yourself, you should contact the examinator, as soon as possible, to discuss if your topic is suitable for a master's thesis in statistics and, if so, to be assigned a supervisor.
