Main content
This month, Nello Blaser will give a brief and practice-oriented introduction to statistics. In particular, we will discuss how to choose the correct statistical method for your data and how to avoid common pitfalls in statistical modeling.
More information about the forum meeting, including the Zoom link and a registration link, has been sent to all PhD candidates in a separate email.
In general, the ICT PhD forum has been created as a place where PhD candidates enrolled in the Department of Informatics' PhD program can get together and learn from one another. The forum meetings are organized by the PhD candidates themselves, and in 2021 we are planning for monthly meet-ups on Wednesdays at 10:15. A meeting will usually consist of 1-2 short talks/seminars given by invited speakers, followed by an informal networking and discussion session.
In 2021, the forum organizers are Laura Garrison, Erlend Raa Vågset and Sophie Fischer.
