4.0 crédits ECTS  15.0 h + 5.0 h   1q 

Teacher(s) von Sachs Rainer ;
Language French
Place
of the course
Louvain-la-Neuve
Main themes Main themes The topics treated during this course are : 1. Nonparametric estimation of a distribution function 2. Nonparametric estimation of a density function : the kernel method 3. Nonparametric estimation of a regression function : - kernel estimation - local polynomial estimation - spline estimation The material will essentially be treated from an applied point of view of methodology. The student will study software applications of the proposed methods.
Aims Second course of general education in nonparametric statistics, which mainly focuses on smoothing methods.
Other information Prerequisites Basic knowledge about probability and statistics: descriptive statistics, calculating probabilities, distribution function, probability density, means, variances (conditionally or not), linear regression.
