Tests d'hypothèses: cadre de Neyman-Pearson: test du rapport de vraisemblance, tests paramétriques et non-parmétriq ...
MATH-516: Applied statisticsThe course will provide an overview of everyday challenges in applied statistics through case studies. Students will learn how to use core statistical methods and their extensions, and will use computational and problem-solving tools to provide reproducibl ...
FIN-525: Financial big dataThe course introduces modern methods to acquire, clean, and analyze large quantities of financial data efficiently. The second part expands on how to apply these techniques and robust statistics to financial analysis, in particular to intraday data and inv ...
MATH-341: Linear modelsRegression modelling is a fundamental tool of statistics, because it describes how the law of a random variable of interest may depend on other variables. This course aims to familiarize students with linear models and some of their extensions, which lie a ...
CS-401: Applied data analysisThis course teaches the basic techniques, methodologies, and practical skills required to draw meaningful insights from a variety of data, with the help of the most acclaimed software tools in the data science world (pandas, scikit-learn, Spark, etc.) ...
AR-219: Advanced CAO and Integrated Modeling DIM1ère année: bases nécessaires à la représentation informatique 2D (3D).
Passage d'un à plusieurs logiciels: compétence de choisir les outils adéquats en 2D et en 3D.
Mise en relation des outils de CAO et DIM: regard critique et aptitude à choisir les métho ...
MATH-449: BiostatisticsThis course covers statistical methods that are widely used in medicine and biology. A key topic is the analysis of longitudinal data: that is, methods to evaluate exposures, effects and outcomes that are functions of time. While motivated by real-life pro ...
MATH-665: Functional Data AnalysisA rigorous introduction to the statistical analysis of random functions and associated random operators. Viewing random functions either as random Hilbert vectors or as stochastic processes, we will see the interplay between nonparametrics and multivariate ...
FIN-619: Financial Econometrics and Machine LearningThis course consists of three parts: an introduction to financial time series data characteristics and analysis, a discussion on econometrics techniques (eg, GARCH models, cointegration, extreme values, truncation), and an exploration of machine learning t ...
EE-607: Advanced Methods for Model IdentificationThis course introduces the principles of model identification for non-linear dynamic systems, and provides a set of possible solution methods that are thoroughly characterized in terms of modelling assumptions and uncertainty levels. ...
MATH-655: Advanced methods for causal inferenceThis course covers recent methodology for causal inference in settings with time-varying exposures (longitudinal data) and causally connected units (interference). We will consider theory for identification and estimation of effects, illustrated by real-li ...
FIN-474: Advanced risk management topicsThe students learn different financial risk measures and their risk theoretical properties. They learn how to design and implement risk engines, with model estimation, forecast, reporting and validation elements. The students will also overview regulation ...
MATH-441: Robust and nonparametric statisticsIn the decades from 1930 to 1950, many rank-based statistics were introduced. These methods were received with much interest, because they worked under weak conditions. Starting in the late 1950, a theory of robustness was added. The course gives an overvi ...
MATH-685: Learning Theory of Nonparametric RegressionThis course is intended to give a brief overview of how to prove consistency results in nonparametric regression. In particular, we will focus on least-square regression estimators. Some connections to the empirical risk minimization (ERM) problem will be ...
MATH-710: Data Analysis for Science and EngineeringAn overview course intended for scientists and engineers who need to use statistical methods as part of their research, who have already attended a course at the second-year EPFL undergraduate level, and need revision and deepening of their knowledge at a ...
