Probability for Biostatisticians

Probability: Biostatistic

The biostatistical field is changing with new directions emerging constantly. Doing research in these new directions, which often involve large data and complex designs, requires advanced probability and statistics tools. The purpose of this new course is to collect these important probability methods and present them in a way that is friendly to a biostatistics audience. This course is designed for PhD students in Biostatistics. Its primary objective is to help the students achieve a solid understanding of these probability methods and develop strong analytical skills that are necessary for conducting methodological research in modern biostatistics. At the completion of this course, the students will a) have a working knowledge in Law of Large Numbers, Central Limit Theorems, martingale theory, Brownian motions, weak convergence,  empirical process, and Markov chain theory; b) be able to understand the biostatistical literature that involves such methods; c) be able to do proofs that call for such knowledge.

Theory of Statistical Inference I

THEORY OF STAT INFERENCE

This course offers a general introduction to essential materials in advanced statistical theory for doctoral students in biostatistics. The course is designed to prepare doctoral students in biostatistics for their written theory qualifying exam. Students in this course will learn theory of estimation, confidence sets and hypothesis testing. Specific topics include a quick review of measure-theoretic probability theory, concepts of sufficiency and completeness, unbiased estimation (UMVUE), least squares principle, likelihood estimation, a variety of estimators and their asymptotic properties, confidence sets, the Neyman-Pearson lemma and uniformly most powerful tests. If time permits, the likelihood ratio test, score test and Wald test, and sequential analysis will be covered.

(PhD) Foundations of Optimizat

The course is designed for entering doctoral students and provides a rigorous introduction to the fundamental theory of optimization. It examines optimization theory in continuous, deterministic settings, including optimization in Euclidean as well as in more general, infinite-dimensional vector spaces. The course emphasizes unifying themes (such as optimality conditions, Lagrange multipliers, convexity, duality) that are common to all of these areas of mathematical optimization. Applications across a range of problem areas serve to illustrate and motivate the theory that is developed. Additionally, review sessions explaining how to solve complex optimization problems using CVX and Python are offered.

Topics in Statistical Learning and Data

TPCS-STAT LEARN/DATA MINI

The aim of this course is to provide students a systematic training in key topics in modern supervised statistical learning and data mining. For the most part, the focus will remain on a theoretically sound understanding of the methods (learning algorithms) and their applications in complex data analysis, rather than proving technical theorems. Applications of the statistical learning and data mining tools in biomedical and health sciences will be highlighted.

TV REVISION

FILM AF 9120 TV Revision

 

The goal of TV Revision is to bring in a completed pilot and then completely revise it in one semester. Students will initially present their full scripts for feedback in class discussion, then map a plan for rewriting with their instructor. Deadlines throughout the semester will focus on delivery of revised pages.

The work can range from an intensive page 1 rewrite to focus on selected areas in a script. Reading of all scripts in the workshop and participation in class discussion is required.

There is an application process to select students for the class.
