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.
Explores special examples of Generalized Linear Models, covering logistic regression, count data models, separation issues, and nonparametric relationships.
Explores linear models for classification, including parametric models, regression, and logistic regression, along with model evaluation metrics and maximum margin classifiers.
