ST 694
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: ST562 or equivalent.
Exclusions: ST494, MA686K or equivalent.
