We also discuss regularization techniques such as lasso, ridge regression and elastic nets. Further, model selection techniques including information criteria and cross-validation are covered. We also cover bootstrapping methodology, which is a powerful tool for statistical inference.


Connection to Research and Practice
This course covers predictive modelling using machine-learning techniques. This is a fast-growing branch of statistics where analysis of big data is used for predictive and forecasting purposes. Most organizations today use big data for their decision making. The statistical methods introduced in this course enables government organizations, businesses etc. to use the data they collect in a strategic way to improve their operations. Further, they can be used in economic research directly to draw conclusions about unknown economic characteristics in the society.
