Hence, you have some extra time to solve (at least some of) the exercises of the sheet that we gave to you yesterday. (Note: Future exercise sheets won't be that long!) What you should do until next Tuesday: (1) If you feel that you need to review the things that we discussed yesterday, please watch the recap videos, try to solve at least the easy and medium difficult exercises - maybe also the difficult ones and/or the bonus exercise. (2) All of you should watch the playlist for next Wednesday (see Information -> materials) or read the corresponding pages in the lecture notes. You will get solutions for all exercises (some will be presented by Michael on Tuesday, some by me on Wednesday, all of them will be available for download). Regards, Verena Wolf.

Material for revisionWritten on 05.10.17 by Verena Wolf We have uploaded some material for revision of basic concepts of random variables (see material). If you feel confident with random variables, you might not need to recap this. |
Probabilistic Models and Data Analysis
The aim of this course is to give students of bioinformatics and computer science a solid background in probability and statistics as well as detailed knowledge about computer simulation of stochastic models, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. Students will also learn how to use software tools such as R and Matlab to analyse data and probabilistic models. This course is a flipped classroom course, which means that the two lecture/tutorial slots will be used for exercises/examples/questions and discussion of the material and participants have to prepare for these slots by either watching videos or reading the lecture notes.
