STAT 751/CSI 771 Computational Statistics

(3:3:0). Prerequisite: STAT 544 and STAT 652. Covers the basic computationally intensive statistical methods and related methods that would not be feasible without modern computational resources. Covers nonparametric density estimation including kernel methods, orthogonal series methods and multivariate methods, recursive methods, cross-validation, nonparametric regression, penalized smoothing splines, the jackknife and bootstrapping, computational aspects of exploratory methods including the grand tour, projection pursuit, alternating conditional expectations, and inverse regression methods.
