This site contains all material relevant for the course FYS-MAT3155/4155, Data Analysis and Machine Learning at the University of Oslo.
This site contains all material relevant for the course on Data Analysis and Machine Learning at the University of Oslo. The material is developed in a modular fashion and can thus be reused for other courses at other universities or as material for intensive courses on data analysis and machine learning.
## Course content
Probability theory and statistical methods play a central role in science. Nowadays we are
surrounded by huge amounts of data. For example, there are about one trillion web pages; more than one
hour of video is uploaded to YouTube every second, amounting to 10 years of content every
day; the genomes of 1000s of people, each of which has a length of $3.8\times 10^9$ base pairs, have

been sequenced by various labs and so on.
This deluge of data calls for automated methods of data analysis,
