Optimal Experimental Design

Submitted by jolanta.pielasz... on February 6, 2021 - 09:58

Course plan

The course is about optimal experimental design – planning of experiments. The basic idea of design optimization (best estimation of unknown model parameters, information or moment matrix, etc.) and commonly used design criteria in linear models are the main parts of the course. Besides optimal designs in classical linear models, optimal designs for estimation and prediction of fixed and random effects in particular mixed models will be discussed.

Optimisation algorithms in Statistics II, 3.5 credits

Submitted by Frank Miller on January 8, 2021 - 12:55

Based on the topics discussed in first part of the course, we continue with deepening the theoretical basis for stochastic optimisation algorithms. Specifically, we discuss theory around Stochastic Gradient Ascent (including momentum and adaptive step sizes), Simulated Annealing, and Particle Swarm Optimisation. Theoretical results on convergence and speed will be discussed.

PhD course in Econometrics, 15 ECTS credits, spring 2021

Submitted by jolanta.pielasz... on November 14, 2019 - 00:05

All lectures are expected to be streamed live online, through Zoom. Apart from traditional white-board lectures, there will also be computer classes to ensure a strong connection to empirical econometric modelling.  
We will be following the book Econometric analysis: 8th Edition. W. H. Greene closely throughout the course. The exam will consist of a number of home assignment involving theoretical matters as well as empirical analyses. Students who have not yet applied to the course should do this asap, directly to the course coordinator (see contact info below).

Optimisation algorithms in Statistics I, 4 credits

Submitted by Frank Miller on May 24, 2020 - 16:57

We will discuss algorithms to compute minima or maxima which are frequently needed in statistics and machine learning. Topics of lectures on four occasions: gradient based algorithms, stochastic gradient based algorithms, gradient free algorithms (e.g. particle swarm optimisation), handling of restrictions during optimisation.
