    Project
    The project is compulsory. Here the students shall plan, perform, analyse and report a self selected experiment, or do another statistical analysis that needs to be approved by the lecturer of the course or the exercise teacher. This will count 20% of the exam. A description of the task is given here. Some examples of problems, that have been examined by former students, can be found on the web page https://wiki.math.ntnu.no/tma4255/2016v/project
