Nonparametric models are used to identify a wide range of relationships within data. This course gives a graduate-level overview of nonparametric statistical estimation and inference theory. ...
The course will provide the opportunity to tackle real world problems requiring advanced computational skills and visualisation techniques to complement statistical thinking. Students will practice proposing efficient solutions, and effectively communicati ...
We discuss a set of topics that are important for the understanding of modern data science but that are typically not taught in an introductory ML course. In particular we discuss fundamental ideas and techniques that come from probability, information the ...
This course aims to introduce the basic principles of machine learning in the context of the digital humanities. We will cover both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, and study and implement methods to analyze diverse data types, such as imag ...
In 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 ...
This 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 ...
