Covers the basics of linear regression, OLS method, predicted values, residuals, matrix notation, goodness-of-fit, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals.
Explores extreme values in random variables, applications in environmental factors, reliability modeling, block maxima distribution, and the Generalized Extreme Value distribution.
Explores maximum likelihood estimation in linear models, covering Gaussian noise, covariance estimation, and support vector machines for classification problems.
Explores statistical inference, sufficiency, and completeness, emphasizing the importance of sufficient statistics and the role of complete statistics in data reduction.
Covers methods to define the design storm, empirical distribution of rainfall maxima, Gumbel distribution, and intensity-duration-frequency relationships.
