Dear Colleagues, I have the pleasure to announce the world premiere of my "Clustering and Classification with Python" course, part of my "machine learning"/"advanced statistical modelling" collection. The course provides a short introduction to the huge subject of clustering and classifying observations. For more details visit https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/pyclassif.php . Topics: * Hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering. * Gaussian mixtures, E-M algorithm. * Quadratic and linear discriminant analysis. * Feature selection with principal components. * Cross-validation techniques. * Logistic regression and its connection with discriminant analysis. Multinomial regression. When? Friday 5th September, 09:00 - 13:00. Where? IMP seminar room E-016. Pre-requisites: You must know Python, and be familiar with NumPy and Pandas. Cost: Free of charge. How to register? Make sure you don't have any meetings on that date, ask your boss for permission to attend, and then sign up at https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/schedule.php by filling out the little form. Sign up only if you are confident that you will attend, don't take away a slot from a colleague. Keep in mind the general attendance rules, see https://training.vbcf.ac.at/training/practical_information.php for details. You will get a confirmation from me later this week.
