Contents
Choice of the following topics • Concentration of random vectors in high dimensions • Concentration inequalities • Linear and nonlinear principal component analysis (PCA) • Random matrices • Sparse recovery (compressed sensing) and LASSO regression • Introduction to statistical learning • Kernel methods and Gaussian processes • Applications in signal and image processing, random networks, …
Learning outcomes
After successfully completing the module, students have deepened their knowledge of stochastics acquired in the basic modules. They know the mathematical and statistical methods from data analysis. They have acquired basic skills for in-depth modules in stochastics or optimization. They have gained experience in doing independent research.
Assessment
Prerequisite: • Successful completion of a semester project Final module examination: • Project presentation, 45 min.
