Statistical theory
Summary
-This course gives a mostly rigourous treatment of some statistical methods outside the context of standard likelihood theory.
Content
Review of decision and likelihood theory in parametric models. Shrinkage and superefficient estimators. Adaptive estimation. kNN classification. Optimal transport and application to the bootstrap. If time permits, M-estimation.
Keywords
Nonparametrics, inference, optimal transport, classification, shrinkage
Learning Prerequisites
