Computational statistics combines mathematical theory, algorithm design and high-performance computing to extract insight from data. It spans simulation-based inference (for example, bootstrap and ...
As humans have developed cheaper and smaller sensors, web cameras and other data collection devices, the amount of data available to be analyzed and understood has exploded. Statistics is the ...
Articulate the need for computational approaches, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, to Bayesian inference. Implement various MCMC algorithms to find posterior distributions, ...
Familiarity with linear algebra is expected. In addition, students should have taken a proof-based course such as CS 212 or Math 300. Tensors, or multiindexed arrays, generalize matrices (two ...
