ST 494
Statistical Learning
The course covers the most current techniques used in
statistical learning and data analysis, and their background
theoretical results. Two basic groups of methods are covered in
this course: supervised learning (classification and regression)
and unsupervised learning (clustering). The supervised learning
methods include Recursive Partitioning Tree, Random Forest,
Linear Discriminant and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, Neural
Network, Support Vector Machine, K-nearest neighbour, and
Regression. The unsupervised learning methods include
Hierarchical Clustering, K-means, and Model-based Clustering
methods. Furthermore, the course also covers dimension
reduction techniques such as LASSO and Ridge Regression, and
model checking criteria. Some data visualization methods will
be introduced in this course as well.
Prerequisites: ST362.
