- Practical course in applying modern statistical techniques to real data, particularly bioinformatic data and large data sets. The emphasis is on efficient computation and concise coding, mostly in MATLAB and C++.
Topics covered include probability theory and Bayesian inference; univariate distributions; Central Limit Theorem; generation of random deviates; tail (p-value) tests; multiple hypothesis correction; empirical distributions; model fitting; error estimation; contingency tables; multivariate normal distributions; phylogenetic clustering; Gaussian mixture models; EM methods; maximum likelihood estimation; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; principal component analysis; dynamic programming; hidden Markov models; performance measures for classifiers; support vector machines; Wiener filtering; wavelets; multidimensional interpolation; information theory.

- The course concentrates on recognizing and solving convex optimization problems that arise in applications. Topics addressed include the following. Convex sets, functions, and optimization problems. Basics of convex analysis. Least-squares, linear and quadratic programs, semidefinite programming, minimax, extremal volume, and other problems. Optimality conditions, duality theory, theorems of alternative, and applications. Interior-point methods. Applications to signal processing, statistics and machine learning, control and mechanical engineering, digital and analog circuit design, and finance.
