About the course

This course focuses on handling large amounts of data and is divided into three different blocks. The first block deals with stochastic simulations, the second with regression analysis and least squares methods and the third with eigenvalue problems, singular value decomposition and principal component analysis. In the field of data analysis and machine learning, many algorithms and applications are based on the methods covered in this course. We study the computational methods used when working practically with data analysis of large amounts of data.
