Past Courses

• AMCS9950 - Dissertation

  Allows for a PhD student to be enrolled full-time to work exclusively on research, writing and preparing his/her doctoral thesis and defense. All required coursework (20 CUs) must be completed, and the student must have passed his/her thesis proposal/oral candidacy examination prior to being enrolled.

• AMCS9999 - Ind Study & Research

  Study under the direction of a faculty member.

• STAT4710 - Modern Data Mining

  With the advent of the internet age, data are being collected at unprecedented scale in almost all realms of life, including business, science, politics, and healthcare. Data mining—the automated extraction of actionable insights from data—has revolutionized each of these realms in the 21st century. The objective of the course is to teach students the core data mining skills of exploratory data analysis, selecting an appropriate statistical methodology, applying the methodology to the data, and interpreting the results. The course will cover a variety of data mining methods including linear and logistic regression, penalized regression (including lasso and ridge regression), tree-based methods (including random forests and boosting), and deep learning. Students will learn the conceptual basis of these methods as well as how to apply them to real data using the programming language R. This course may be taken concurrently with the prerequisite with instructor permission.

• STAT5710 - Modern Data Mining

  Modern Data Mining: Statistics or Data Science has been evolving rapidly to keep up with the modern world. While classical multiple regression and logistic regression technique continue to be the major tools we go beyond to include methods built on top of linear models such as LASSO and Ridge regression. Contemporary methods such as KNN (K nearest neighbor), Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, Principal Component Analyses (PCA), the bootstrap and others are also covered. Text mining especially through PCA is another topic of the course. While learning all the techniques, we keep in mind that our goal is to tackle real problems. Not only do we go through a large collection of interesting, challenging real-life data sets but we also learn how to use the free, powerful software "R" in connection with each of the methods exposed in the class. Prerequisite: two courses at the statistics 4000 or 5000 level or permission from instructor.

• STAT9910 - Sem in Adv Appl of Stat

  This seminar is for graduate students who wish to learn about current research frontiers. It covers advanced topics in probability, statistical theory and methods, applied statistics, data science and artificial intelligence. Specific topics vary from year to year and emphasize both theoretical foundations and applications.
