Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Explores advanced techniques in multilevel modeling, including fitting separate models, estimating coefficients, and checking residuals for model evaluation.
Explores the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis in quantum systems, emphasizing the random matrix theory and the behavior of observables in thermal equilibrium.
Covers ANOVA method, focusing on partitioning total sum of squares into treatment and error components, mean square calculations, Fisher statistic, and F-distribution.
Explores supervised learning in financial econometrics, covering linear regression, model fitting, potential problems, basis functions, subset selection, cross-validation, regularization, and random forests.
