Project in Statistics
Course content
This project course on advanced statistical modeling is a compulsory part of the MSc program in statistics. The content of the course presumes a mathematical level corresponding to this MSc program, and consists of:
- An advanced subject in statistical modeling.
- Independent literature studies.
- Theoretical work on models and methods relevant for data analysis.
- Practical work on statistical modeling, implementation and/or data analysis.
- Organization of a larger project and writing of reports.
- Written presentation of methodology, data analysis and results.
The exact subjects and how the different components above are weighed depend on the supervisors assigned to the course. A list of projects will be offered at the beginning of the course, and the participants will choose one from that list.
Examples of advanced subjects are:
- Classification and machine learning.
- High-dimensional statistics.
- Functional data analysis.
- Bayesian analysis and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC).
- Mixed and hierarchical models.
- Graphical models.
- Applied biostatistics.
- Causal inference.
- Dynamical systems.
