Exercises

Exercises will be based on the free open-source statistics and graphics software R. Emphasis will be put on applied problems. Active participation in the exercises is recommended.

Contacting lecturers and assistants

Of course you can always ask questions during the class and the exercise sessions. If you want to contact us by email, please write to compstat@stat.math.ethz.ch, NOT directly to a assistant.

Lecture attestation (Testat):

In order to obtain ETCS-credits you have to pass the written exam during the examination session.

If you need ETH-credits (for PhD students from D-MATH and D-ITET) you need to hand in your exercises and achieve a minimal amount of 40 points. (see the exercise page for more details)
