Statistical Learning 2

Master's program

The participants:
• can practically follow the workings of advanced data science algorithms
• can configure advanced data science algorithms for specific purposes
• can apply the algorithms covered to isolated problems

1st semester: Students have prior knowledge in mathematics/statistics amounting to 8 ECTS and are therefore familiar with simple statistical measures as well as basic statistical test procedures (e.g. t-test). / 2nd semester: No prerequisites / 2nd semester: Module examination MLAL.A1 (Algorithms 1)

The following topics are discussed in the course:

- advanced modeling procedures
- Ensemble methods
- Optimization of models
