Prof Yuhong Yang on Summer Curriculum
On July 8, 2019, the summer curriculumof the Economics and Business Research Institute(IEB) has started. Prof. YuhongYang from School of Statistics in University of Minnesota has been invited to givea course named Linear Model Theory and Applications in High DimensionLearning from July 9th to 19th. The summer course is one of the importantplatforms for IEB to promote the development of its internationalizeddisciplines. The summer curriculum program was launched in 2017. Each yearabout 5 world-class university professors were invited to introduce thefrontiers and developments in their research fields.
Prof.Yang received his Ph.D. in statistics from Yale University. He is Director ofGraduate Department. He is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statisticsand Associate Editor of the Annals of Institute of Statistical Mathematicsand also Statistics Surveys; His research is mainly in the areas ofmodel selection and model combination, high-dimensional data analysis,predictive combinations, personalized medical statistics, etc..
TheLinear Model Theory and Applications in High Dimension Learning coursesystematically introduces the basic theory of linear models, especially fromthe perspective of by not relying on coordinates to deduce the most importantestimation and testing methods & theories, so that students can have a morevisualized understanding of geometry and establish theoretical basis of algebraicoperation, and also can learn how linear model theory is applied in high-dimensionaldata analysis, including optimal estimation theory, model selection andconfidence set of variable selection.
