The Elements of Statistical learning, PhD course, 2010

The course is a study group on the book ”The elements of statistical learning” by Hastie, Tibshirani  and Friedman. Anyone is welcome to attend. We meet once a week and two persons are responsible for one session each by giving a ~30 minute presentation of the material. Everyone else is supposed to read the material. During and after the presentations we have discussions. PhD students that wish to get credits for the course (7.5 hp) have to give two presentations.

Welcome!

Jenny Jonasson and Mats Rudemo
