Modelação Estatística / Statistical Modelling (ME) classes

18 setembro 2020, 16:01 • Rui Manuel Moura de Carvalho Oliveira

As indicated in the syllabus of the Modelação Estatística / Statistical Modelling (ME) course (available in Fenix), PhD students are strongly advised to attend classes (at least theoretical classes) of the curricular unit System´s Modelling and Evaluation (MAS) of the 5th year of the MSc programme in Civil Engineering dedicated to reviewing basic concepts of Probability and Statistics and to the introduction to multivariate statistical methods which take place in the first half of the semester.

These MAS classes start this Monday, September 21st, according to the schedule indicated in the syllabus (and posted in Fenix). All classes will be lectured in English.

We tend to favor face-to-face classes, provided that the capacity of the classrooms (revised in face of the restrictions associated with Covid-19) allows to accommodate the students who attend them. However, Colibri/Zoom sessions are created so that students can attend these classes remotely (and these will probably be recorded and the corresponding videos made available to students).

The links to these Colibri/Zoom sessions are available in Fenix, section “Links to Colibri/Zoom sessions”.

It would be very useful if students send an email stating whether they intend to attend these face-to-face classes or if they prefer to attend them remotely (via Colibri/Zoom). Please send this email (to (roliv@tecnico.ulisboa.pt) at your earliest convenience (before Monday, please).

Copies of the PP slides to be used in the initial classes are available in Fenix (section “Theoretical classes’ materials”) an others will be made available as classes progress.

The ME teaching team salutes all ME students and we will do our best to make the attendance of this course a fruitful and rewarding experience.
