Prerequisite: 561.

{Alternate Springs}

Nonparametric regression, density estimation, filtering, spectral density estimation, image reconstruction and pattern recognition. Tools include orthogonal series, kernels, splines, wavelets and neural networks. Applications to medicine, engineering, biostatistics and economics.

Prerequisite: 561.

{Offered upon demand}

A detailed examination of essential statistical computing skills needed for research and industrial work. Students will use S-Plus, Matlab and SAS® to develop algorithms for solving a variety of statistical problems using resampling and simulation techniques such as the bootstrap, Monte Carlo methods and Markov chain methods for approximating probability distributions. Applications to linear and non-linear models will be stressed.

Prerequisite: 528.

Offered on a CR/NC basis only.
