STATISTICAL LEARNING

STAT 615

Course Description

The development of a variety of mathematical theories and statistical concepts (1) to understand the properties of those models and methods used for the purpose of prediction from data or decision making from data, and (2) to criticize such models, methods and their consequences. Specifically, the theories and tools that will be developed will include complexity theory, Hilbert spaces, Gaussian processes, Variational Analysis, and concentration inequalities.
