Statistical models will be described commencing with linear models (LMs) and generalized linear models (GLMs). Next, additive and generalized additive models (GAMs) will be introduced followed by their mixed model extensions. Tree-based methods, longitudinal models and spatial statistics will be demonstrated with a view to completing their 鈥媠tatistical toolbox鈥�. Emphasis will be placed on understanding model assumptions and method implementation. Real and relevant data sets will be used throughout the course to demonstrate best practices for data analysis. The R programming language will be used exclusively.

The advent of low-cost storage and processing power coupled with ever increasing amounts of "born digital" data has created the new field of data science. The ability to achieve a specific goal or answer a business question by crunching through very large and complex databases is becoming a competitive advantage for businesses and leads to new discoveries in science and medicine. This course is an overview of the different processes that make up a data science project. While other fields concentrate on finding previously unknown knowledge or searching for a specific pattern, data science focuses on answering deep questions and making the conclusions accessible to the rest of the organization. This course requires the implementation of software and experimental design in order to complete the assignments.

The focus of applications that will be discussed will be text classification and clustering.

This course provides an introduction to Business Analytics and Data Visualization. It covers the processes, methodologies and practices used to transform the large amounts of business and public data into useful information to support business decision-making. Students will learn how to extract and manipulate data from these systems. They will also acquire basic knowledge of data mining and statistical analysis, with a focus on data visualization. The students will also learn to build and use management dashboards and balanced scorecards using a variety of data design and visualization tools. The course will be made up of a combination of conceptual and applied topics with classes being held in a computer lab. Technologies to be used will be focused on end-user analytics and data visualization and will include state of the art tools for self-serve business analytics.

Spatial Information is the air and water that makes mapping and spatial analysis possible. Mobile applications using maps are some of the most popular and often used web-based applications; they are also cloud based which added another layer of management issues. Maps, GIS and the use of spatial information have never been more popular or public. This course addresses the effective management of spatial information. The course covers principles and practices associated with metadata, GIS, licensing, spatial information databases, map libraries and archives, spatial data infrastructures and web-based delivery of products and services, as well as distributed systems such as geolibraries, 鈥榙igital earth鈥� and the development of the 'spatial cloud'. This course is geared towards the manager who seeks to deploy services associated with spatial information and effectively develop an enterprise approach to managing spatial information. The course will also provide hands-on experience in using GIS and related technologies so as to be able to better understand how to deploy services, especially over the web.

Stat 5130 is intended to make advanced Bayesian methods genuinely accessible to graduate students. The course covers all the fundamental concepts of Bayesian methods, and works from the simplest ideas (characterizations of probability; comparative inference; prior, posterior and predictive distributions) up through hierarchical modes applied to various data. Computational methods include MCMC for posterior simulation.

This course deals with the stochastic behaviour of several variables in systems where their interdependence is the object of analysis. Greater emphasis is placed on a practical application than on mathematical refinement. Topics include classification, cluster analysis, categorized data, analysis of interdependence, structural simplification by transformation or modelling and hypothesis construction and testing.

Time series analysis in both the time and frequency domain is introduced. The course is applied and students are required to develop their own computer programs in the analysis of time series drawn from real problems. Topics to be discussed include the nature of time series, stationarity, auto and cross covariance functions, the Box-Jenkins approach to model identification and fitting, power and cross spectra and the analysis of linear time-invariant relationships between pairs of series.

This course is concerned with statistical techniques for analysis of longitudinal data, data that are collected repeatedly over a time on a number of subjects. Topics include generalized estimating equations; fixed, random and mixed effects linear models; generalized linear models; diagnostics and model checking; as well as missing data issues.

This course gives a basic exposition of the goals and methods of data mining and data warehouses, including concepts, principles, architectures, algorithms, implementations, and applications. The main topics include an overview of databases, data warehouses and data mining technology, data warehousing and on line analytical process (OLAP), concept mining, association mining, classification and predication, and clustering. Software tools for data mining and data warehousing and their design will also be introduced.

This course focuses on graphical techniques for data visualization that assist in the extraction of meaning from datasets. This involves the design and development of efficient tools for the exploration of large and often complex information domains. Applications of visualization are broad, including computer science, geography, the social sciences, mathematics, science and medicine, as well as architecture and design. The course will cover all aspects of visualization including fundamental concepts, algorithms, data structures, and the role of human perception.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an area of Artificial Intelligence concerned with the problem of automatically analyzing and generating a natural language, such as English, French, or other, in written or spoken form. It is a relatively old area of computer science, but it is still a very active research area. This course introduces fundamental concepts and principles used in NLP with emphasis on statistical approaches to NLP and unification-based grammars. In the application part of the course, we discuss the problems of question answering, machine translation, text classification, information extraction, grammar induction, and dictionary generation and other.

In this course, we will focus on Big Data and the Pillars of that emerging discipline: machine learning/data mining, elements of high-performance computing, and data visualization. Significant part of the course will be devoted to selected, efficient methods for building models from large datasets data using machine learning techniques.

This course will introduce the concepts of Visual Analytics (VA). VA is a multi-disciplinary domain that combines data visualization with machine learning and other automated techniques to help people make sense of data. Students will be introduced to the design of visual representations supporting tasks to go from findings to insights based on data. Topics include basic concepts of information visualization and machine learning; visual analytics of evolving phenomena; analysis of spatial and temporal data sets; visual social media analytics; and the visual analytics of text and multimedia collections. Students will prototype visual analytics applications using existing toolkits, coupling machine learning and visualization methods. Students will gain competence in performing data analysis and visualization tasks in different application domains.
NOTES: Students must be proficient in at least one or multiple programming languages that support the design of interactive visual interfaces and the execution of data mining/machine learning libraries and toolkits.

This course provides a broad overview of machine learning and machine learning operations in healthcare contexts. We begin by studying how healthcare data is unique, and how machine learning methods have been applied to clinical and medical tasks. We focus on various graphical, deep learning, time-series, and transfer learning models and unique aspects of their application in healthcare. We cover concepts of fairness, privacy, trust, explainability, and other human factors. We discuss implementation techniques, including 鈥楳LOps鈥� for healthcare, and opportunities for real-world deployment. Much of the course will be seminar-based, including guest lectures and descriptions of research papers. Students will choose and complete a commensurate research project. The course expects and requires a familiarity with programming and core concepts in data mining or data science. It is strongly recommended that Master of Digital Innovation students take this in their final semester.
