Course content
The content of the subject is adapted to the focus of the student's dissertation, it is assumed that the following topics will be selected in particular within object-oriented data analysis (multivariate data, compositional data, functional data, more complex data structures) according to the relevant geoinformatic motivation: - Linear and nonlinear regression and classification methods (including robust ones); - Model selection and evaluation (including cross validation, bootstrap); - Statistical inference (model parameter estimates, hypothesis testing, prediction; Bayesian approach); - Machine learning methods (regression / classification trees, support vector machines, neural networks); - Unsupervised methods (dimension reduction, cluster analysis, detection of outliers); - Methods for high-dimensional data (regression, classification, unreserved methods); Geostatistics, spatial and spatio-temporal statistics.
