Explores Probabilistic Linear Regression and Gaussian Process Regression, emphasizing kernel selection and hyperparameter tuning for accurate predictions.
Introduces simple linear regression, properties of residuals, variance decomposition, and the coefficient of determination in the context of Okun's law.
Explores learning latent models in graphical structures, focusing on scenarios with incomplete samples and introducing the notion of distance among variables.
Introduces Bayesian estimation, covering classical versus Bayesian inference, conjugate priors, MCMC methods, and practical examples like temperature estimation and choice modeling.
