Introduction

This is the tutorial page for PS1 2023/24 (Tuesday 15:40-17:10, S8, MS building)

Evaluation

There will be a homework problem each week, which will be posted (in OWL) after the tutorial. The points will be given in binary for each problem. One needs to solve at least half of the total number of problems correctly to pass this course. Additionally, one needs to submit a decent statistical project by the end of this academic year. Please note that you need to pass the tutorial independely of the main course.
