Learning Objectives

The course covers various statistical techniques for both supervised and unsupervised learning. It introduces the use of the R software for statistical computing. In supervised learning, methods like linear and logistic regression are employed to predict or analyze relationships between predictors and a target variable. For instance, predicting the risk of material deprivation in families using baseline data. Unsupervised learning involves finding groups in data through techniques like cluster analysis, as well as summarizing data using methods like principal component analysis. The last part of the course focuses on machine learning methods, including classification and regression trees, random forests, and neural networks, with applications in natural language processing, computer vision, and audio analysis.
Through this course, students will be able to:

KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION SKILLS:
- Acquire and demonstrate mastery of general concepts related to advanced statistical methods
- Understand and apply organisational and strategic approaches to use a software for doing said analyses and interpret their results;
- Identify key theories and concepts for performing a statistical analysis, also with big data sets

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
- Apply theories relating to the individual and organisational context to concrete work situations;
- Contextualise theories relating to statistical learning

AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT:
- Evaluate personal and work contingencies, considering critical success factors, to formulate strategies to improve the personal (current and/or future) work situation;
- Make relevant judgements on the appropriateness of complex statistical methodologies;

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
- Analyse and prepare written reports on case studies;
- Present concepts and make logical connections quickly.
