Description
Content
The course gives an overview of modern statistical methods for mathematically oriented students. The main focus is in prediction models and assessment of their performance in new data. The course starts with linear models and proceeds to additive generalized models and other non-linear models. Smoothing, splines and regularization play an important role. The methods are applied to real and simulated data.
Completion methods
Course exam, exercises and practical assignment
Assessment details
The grades are determined by the success in the course exam and possibly also by the performance shown in the exercises and the practical assignment.
