Goal(s)

The goal of this course is to introduce students to classical approaches of statistical learning. The information age has resulted in masses of multivariate data in many fields: finance, marketing, economy, biology, environmental sciences, and the knowledge to handle them in a rigorous and self-critical manner is of great importance in research and industry. We will give equal importance to theoretical and practical aspects of statistical learning, showing several applications in class and proposing practical sessions in which the student has to perform actual data analysis using the R software.

This course is intended for students from IF, ISI, and MMIS, as well as those form the M1AM master.
