This course provides an overview of recent statistical theory that addresses topics such as high-dimensionality, large sample sizes, sequential prediction, incremental and parallel statistical learning. The goal of this is course is build on the knowledge developed in Statistical Learning (STAT3040/STAT7040) in order to understand new and effective methods for analysing Big Data. Particular focus will be given to methods for accurately predicting future observations in order to make decisions and for gaining insight into the relationships that exist between features and responses. Further, this course will also develop an understanding of how large sample sizes affect heterogeneity and commonality across different subpopulations present in the data.
