Explores convex optimization, convex functions, and their properties, including strict convexity and strong convexity, as well as different types of convex functions like linear affine functions and norms.
Introduces Bayesian estimation, covering classical versus Bayesian inference, conjugate priors, MCMC methods, and practical examples like temperature estimation and choice modeling.
Explores the integration of machine learning into discrete choice models, emphasizing the importance of theory constraints and hybrid modeling approaches.
