STATS 208: Bootstrap, Cross-Validation, and Sample Re-use
By re-using the sample data, sometimes in ingenious ways, we can evaluate the accuracy of predictions, test the significance of a conclusion, place confidence bounds on an unknown parameter, select the best prediction architecture, and develop more accurate predictors. In this course, we will describe the many ways that samples get reused to achieve these goals, including the bootstrap, the parametric bootstrap, cross-validation, conformal prediction, random forests, and sample splitting. We also develop basic theory justifying such methods. Prerequisite: course in statistics or probability.

STATS 216: Introduction to Statistical Learning
Overview of supervised learning, with a focus on regression and classification methods. Syllabus includes: linear and polynomial regression, logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis;cross-validation and the bootstrap, model selection and regularization methods (ridge and lasso); nonlinear models, splines and generalized additive models; tree-based methods, random forests and boosting; support-vector machines; Some unsupervised learning: principal components and clustering (k-means and hierarchical). Computing is done in R, through tutorial sessions and homework assignments. This math-light course is offered via video segments (MOOC style), and in-class problem solving sessions. Prereqs: Introductory courses in statistics or probability (e.g.,
Stats 60 or
Stats 101), linear algebra (e.g.,
Math 51), and computer programming (e.g.,
CS 105).
