Math 561 is a graduate-level course on algebraic and geometric methods in statistics. Course homepage is here, containing detailed info on the material, grading, etc.
This page keeps track of course notes, material covered, homework schedule, and other relevant links. Unlike the static course homepage, this one is updated weekly.
- Most lectures use slides in the beginning, but I always also write on the board to supplement examples.
- It is impossible to follow the course only by reading these slides; students are expected to attend the lectures as well.
- All course communication, updates, announcements, logistics, and grading takes place on our Canvas course page.
Week 1 - invitation to algebraic statistics
Homework 1 assigned. due 1/18/2023->1/24/2023
Useful Info
Sample files: how to create your first .Rmd file! All of your HW can be submitted using markdown and html/pdf. Here are some templates I created for another course, just so you know what to expect:
Types of files
- html - course handouts.
- PDF - slides for short illustrations used within a live lecture
- Rmd - raw R Markdown code. This has two purposes:
1) for students to see how the basic output files are generated, and
2) to enable collaborators to make updates to the materials in future semesters.
