A 4-Day Remote Seminar Taught by Kevin Grimm, Ph.D.

Machine learning has emerged as a major field of statistics and data analysis where the goal is to create reliable and flexible predictive models. This seminar offers a thorough introduction to machine learning methods. Topics covered include: cross-validation; multiple regression; basic variable selection methods; an overview of the R statistical framework; and advanced variable selection methods for regression analysis.

Starting August 11, we are offering this seminar as a 4-day synchronous*, remote workshop. Each day will consist of a 3-hour, live morning lecture held via the free video-conferencing software Zoom. Participants are encouraged to join the lecture live, but will have the opportunity to view the recorded session later in the day if they are unable to attend at the scheduled time. Each lecture session will conclude with a hands-on exercise reviewing the content covered, to be completed on one’s own that afternoon. A final session will be held each evening as an “office hour”, where participants can review the exercise results with the instructor and ask any questions.

*We understand that scheduling is difficult during this unpredictable time. If you prefer, you may take all or part of the course asynchronously. The video recordings will be made available within 24 hours of each session, meaning that you will get all of the class discussion and exercise solutions even if you cannot participate synchronously.
