Overview
What you will study
The Foundations of Data and Models - Regression Analytics course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) starts with mostly simple linear algebra and computational methods, and introduces some more difficult mathematical concepts towards the end. This method also, by design, fits in with our approach of morning lectures and afternoon practice on personal computers. The combined teaching system provides opportunities for much hands-on learning and participants leave the course with practical knowledge of the basic algorithms.
The learning objectives of the course are:
- Examining how to fit data to models
- Defining linear least squares, non-linear least squares, singular value decomposition, sensitivity analysis, experiment design, and parameter error estimation
- Appreciating grid search, random search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, neural networks, and large inverse systems
- Investigating principles leading to rapid application of methods
- Evaluating the results of pre-programmed computer exercises
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Philosophy of Data and Models
