Prof. Dr. Uwe Engel
(Managing Director)Uwe Engel is a professor in the Social Sciences department at the University of Bremen, where he headed the Chair of Statistics and Empirical Social Research for more than twenty years from 2000 until his retirement in autumn 2020. In 2007 he founded the Social Science Methods Centre at the University of Bremen and headed it until 2020. Uwe Engel has been teaching statistical methods at universities for students from a wide range of disciplines for more than forty years.
Machine learning cannot do without algorithms and statistical methods. Aimed at predictive analytics, some of these algorithms and methods are core to machine or statistical learning. The course introduces these learning methods, covers their basics, components and variants, and shows how they can be practically applied in the context of regression and classification and how their results can be interpreted. Linear and logistic regression, regression splines for modeling non-linear relationships as well as regression-, similarity-, probability- and information-based classification are treated.
Scope
A three-hour LIVE session is planned for each of the 2 course days, as well as time to work on exercises and discuss them with the lecturer.
Instructional videos
At the latest by the registration deadline fourteen days before the start of the course, the persons taking part in the course will receive access to the instructional videos of the course - in addition to the course documents. These videos provide a first introduction to the subject matter and show practical programming applications. They serve to prepare the course participants for the live course and are taken up in the course, continued and included in the discussion.
Structure
The mornings are all about the theoretical introduction to the subject, the demonstration of application examples and the discussion of this content and applications. The presentation and discussion phases are balanced in terms of time. The afternoons are about practice and programming and about independent application of the previously taught material in the digital lab.
Priorities
Priorities in terms of content can be set at any time in consultation with the participants.
