系列课程讲座题目3：Introduction to Bayesian Statistics and Statistical Learning
课程讲授人：Xiao Wang（美国普渡大学 教授）
报告摘要： Statistics and machine learning have played an important role in modern data analysis and artificial intelligence. This series of lectures will mainly focus on two important topics in statistics: Bayesian Statistics and Statistical Learning. For Bayesian Statistics, I will first present a general framework on Bayesian inference. Then, I will discuss the sampling techniques using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Specific methods include rejection sampling, importance sampling, the Hastings-Metropolis algorithm, and simulated annealing. For Statistical Learning, I will start from the important applications, which are solved by modern learning methods. Then, I will discuss the problems of classification and linear regression. I will further talk about nonparametric methods, such as splines, kernel methods, and tree methods.
