MGT-483: Optimal decision makingThis course introduces the theory and applications of optimization. We develop tools and concepts of optimization and decision analysis that enable managers in manufacturing, service operations, marketing, transportation and finance to transform data into insights for making better decisions.
MATH-234(b): Probability and statisticsLe cours présente les notions de base de la théorie des probabilités et de l'inférence statistique. L'accent est mis sur les concepts principaux ainsi que les méthodes les plus utilisées.
MATH-341: Linear modelsRegression modelling is a fundamental tool of statistics, because it describes how the law of a random variable of interest may depend on other variables. This course aims to familiarize students with linear models and some of their extensions, which lie at the basis of more general regression model
MATH-413: Statistics for data scienceStatistics lies at the foundation of data science, providing a unifying theoretical and methodological backbone for the diverse tasks enountered in this emerging field. This course rigorously develops the key notions and methods of statistics, with an emphasis on concepts rather than techniques.
MGT-418: Convex optimizationThis course introduces the theory and application of modern convex optimization from an engineering perspective.
BIO-449: Understanding statistics and experimental designThis course is neither an introduction to the mathematics of statistics nor an introduction to a statistics program such as R. The aim of the course is to understand statistics from its experimental design and to avoid common pitfalls of statistical reasoning. There is space to discuss ongoing work.
BIOENG-450: In silico neuroscience"In silico Neuroscience" introduces students to a synthesis of modern neuroscience and state-of-the-art data management, modelling and computing technologies.
DH-500: Computational Social MediaThe course integrates concepts from media studies, machine learning, multimedia and network science to characterize social practices and analyze content in sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Students will learn computational methods to infer individual and networked phenomena in social media.
CS-422: Database systemsThis course is intended for students who want to understand modern large-scale data analysis systems and database systems. It covers a wide range of topics and technologies, and will prepare students to be able to build such systems as well as read and understand recent research publications.
