732A88 Multivariate Statistical Methods

Examination

The course is examined by

• Submission of laboratory assignments and participation at the seminars.
  The presense at the five exercise seminars (19, 26, November, 3, 10, 15 December) is obligatory. One seminar may be missed without consequences.
  For each next missed seminar there will be a penalty assignment.
  Late submission of laboratory assignments will result in penalty assignments.
• Final written exam on ?? January 2026 ??-??
  On the exam you will be allowed to have one double sided A4 page of own notes (hand-written). Also alongside the exam I will distribute the tables of the normal, t, chisq2 and F distributions (the Appendix to the textbook). You will be also provided with a table on integrals (file 732A88_MvStat_Examination_IntegralTable.pdf) and mathematical formulae (file 732A88_MvStat_Examination_MathFormulas.pdf).
  Active participation in the seminars gives maximum 0.5 bonus points per seminar to the exam. Active participation means that a student comes prepared to the seminar session with all the given day's exercises, correctly solves an exercise on the board, is able to answer questions about the presented solution and is able to give help and comments to the classmates' presented solutions.

Rules for examination of computer lab assignments at IDA

You are expected to do lab assignments in group or individually, as instructed for a course. However, examination is always based on individual performance.

It is not allowed to hand in solutions copied from other students, or from elsewhere, even if you make changes to the solutions. If there is suspicion of such, or any other form of cheating, teachers are obliged to report it to the University Disciplinary Board.

Be prepared to answer questions about details in specific code and its connection to theory. You may also be asked to explain why you have chosen a specific solution. This applies to all group members.

If you foresee problems meeting a deadline, contact your teacher. You can then get some help and maybe the deadline can be set to a later date. It is always better to discuss problems, instead of, e.g., to cheat.

Any kind of academic dishonesty, such as cheating (e.g., plagiarism, use of unauthorized assistance, and use of prohibited AI-based assistants) and failure to comply with university examination rules, may result in the filing of a complaint to the University Disciplinary Board. The potential penalties include suspension, warning.

Policy for handing in computer lab assignments at IDA

For all IDA courses having computer lab assignments there will be one deadline during or at the end of the course. If you fail to make the deadline, you must retake the, possibly new, lab course the next time the course is given.

If a course deviates from this policy, information will be given on the course web pages.
