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).

During the fall 2019 professor Richard Davis, Columbia University, will give a course on Topics in Time Series Analysis: Old to New.
The course is aimed at advanced masters students and PhD students from Chalmers and Gothenburg University, and also welcomes students from other Scandinavian universities. The first meeting will be
Monday, September 23, 13:15-15:00, room MVH 12 in the Mathematics Building, Chalmers tvärgata 3
The Department of Statistics at Uppsala University plans to give an introductory PhD course in philosophy of science in May-June and August-September 2019, see attached file.

The aim is to provide some theory concerning asymptotic methods of statistics and probability with applications to inference problems. Knowledge of measure theory is not needed. Basic convergence concepts and results (with proofs) such as the Lindeberg-Lévy central limit theorem should have been covered in previous courses.

Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) is an increasingly popular inference paradigm in applications where traditional (Bayesian or frequentist) inference is difficult because the likelihood function is e.g. computationally costly to evaluate or unavailable in closed, tractab- le form. In the course, we will start by briefly studying traditional Bayesian inference and different kinds of simulation-based inference methods in general.
The course covers some advanced models in machine learning.
The models are analyzed mainly from a Bayesian perspective.
The course is also a master's course on the LiU programme 'Statistics and Machine Learning'.
The course is organized into four topics:
- Graphical Models
- Hidden Markov Models
- Gaussian Process Regression and Classification
- State-space models
Each topic includes lectures, a computer lab and a follow-up seminar.
