About the course

This page contains materials for Stochastic Analysis course in 2021/2022 year, mandatory one for 1st year Master students of the Statistical Learning Theory program (HSE and Skoltech).

Grading

The final grade consists of 3 components (each is non-negative real number from 0 to 10, without any intermediate rounding) :

• O_HW for the hometasks
• O_Mid-term for the midterm exam
• O_Exam for the final exam

The formula for the final grade is

• O_Final = 0.3*O_HW + 0.3*O_Mid-term + 0.4*O_Exam + 0.1*O_{Bonus HW}

with the usual (arithmetical) rounding rule.
