A workshop offered in collaboration with HPC.NRW.

This workshop will cover the very basics of Python, from variable assignment to data types to loops, conditional, and functions. Participants will be guided with the help of live-coded examples and self-paced exercises.

We will cover the following Topics (selection):

  • Variable Assignment & Data Types
  • Importing Libraries
  • Reading and Plotting Tabular Data
  • List / Dictionaries
  • Loops
  • Conditional Statements
  • Functions

The workshop material is available online and will be presented by official carpentry instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions the entire time. Although some experience with other scripting / programming languages would be beneficial, no prior knowledge of Python is required. The event is open to participants from all domains. To participate in the course please bring your own laptop.

Seminar - Statistical and Machine Learning Methods

Course Description and Goals:

Statistical learning is a field that teaches students how to analyze and interpret data by applying statistical methods and machine learning algorithms to uncover patterns, make predictions, and gain insights from data. The syllabus includes: • Statistical and machine learning methods, including linear and polynomial regression, logistic regression, and linear discriminant analysis. • Model validation techniques such as cross-validation and bootstrap, model selection, and regularization methods (ridge and lasso). • Nonlinear models, splines, and generalized additive models. • Tree-based methods, including random forests and boosting. • Support-vector machines and an introduction to causal inference. • Unsupervised learning methods such as principal components analysis and clustering (k-means and hierarchical). Examination Format: Report and Presentation. Further information, including locations, and Zoom links, can be found on our homepage: https://oek.wiwi.uni-due.de/studium-lehre/lehrveranstaltungen/sommersemester-26/statistical-learning-vorlesung-17350/
