STATS 305B: Applied Statistics II
This course uses exponential family structure to motivate generalized linear models and other useful applied techniques including survival analysis methods and Bayes and empirical Bayes analyses. The lectures are based on a forthcoming book whose notes will be distributed. Prerequisites: 305A or consent of the instructor.

STATS 305C: Applied Statistics III
Methods for multivariate responses. Theory, computation, and practice for multivariate statistical tools. Topics may include multivariate Gaussian models, probabilistic graphical models, MCMC and variational Bayesian inference, dimensionality reduction, principal components, factor analysis, independent components analysis, canonical correlations, linear discriminant analysis, hierarchical clustering, bi-clustering, multidimensional scaling and variants (e.g., Isomap, spectral clustering, t-SNE), matrix completion, topic modeling, and state space models. Extensive work with data involving programming, ideally in Python and/or R. Prerequisites:
Stats 305A and
Stats 305B or consent of the instructor.
