Methods Related Lecture Courses

Apart from the [:MachineLearning:Learning Machine Learning] course and the course [http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/research/seminars/statisticsseminars.html Statistical Methods for Cognitive Psycologists] there are other useful courses from the Engineering Department, Centre of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Laboratory.

Engineering Department

Michaelmas

The timetables for Michaelmas 2008 are available [http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/teaching/rotas/Mich-IIA-Lec.pdf here] for 3rd year and [http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/teaching/rotas/Mich-IIB-Lec.pdf here] for 4th year.

Lent

Basic Methods Maths

For those who are interested on understanding some basic but advanced engineering mathematics we advise to follow this course which runs during Michaelmas, Lent and Easter term

You can find the timetable for the mathematics course for the year 2008 here ([[http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/teaching/rotas/Michaelmas-IA-Lec.pdf Michaelmas],[http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/teaching/rotas/Easter-IA-Lec.pdf Easter],[http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/teaching/rotas/Lent-IA-Lec.pdf Lent]).

Centre for Mathematical Studies

Lent Term

Applied Bayesian Statistics Prof. D. Spiegelhalter M.W. 11, MR14 and CATAM room (eleven lectures and five classes)

• Bayes theorem; principles of Bayesian reasoning

• Exact conjugate analysis

• Assessment of prior distributions

• Monte Carlo analysis

• Markov chain Monte Carlo methods

• Regression analysis (linear, glm, nonlinear)

• Model criticism and comparison

• Hierarchical models (glmms)

The practical classes will use WinBUGS.
