Methods
The course is concentrated on the first ten weeks. The following 4 weeks are devoted to the realization by each student of an empirical study of suitable data.
Other information
Prerequisites :
Elementary courses in Probability and Statistics
Evaluation
Each student is provided a data set to be analyzed by the taught techniques.
This analysis is the object of a report orally presented by the student to the Professors.
During this presentation, the Professors may question the student on the matter of the course.
Support
The third reference is the basic reference. Other materials will be provided to students.
