Section Title:
MachineLearning Financial Data
Section Info:
For Statistics course registration information: go.illinois.edu/StatisticsRegistration TOPIC: Machine Learning for Financial Data Description: This course introduces modern machine learning techniques that are tailored for analyzing financial data. Topics include Financial Data Preprocessing, Ensemble Methods, Cross Validation, Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks with Long Short-Term Memory / Gated Recurrent Units, Generative Adversarial Networks. The emphasis is on the basics of these methods and their relevant applications with financial data. PREREQS: A course in linear regression, such as STAT 420 or STAT 425; and basic knowledge about classical machine learning techniques at the level of the book "An Introduction to Statistical Learning"; and basic skills in using R to implement machine learning algorithms and conduct data analysis;
Restriction(s):

Section Title:
DataScience ProgrammingMethods
Section Info:
This course provides the computational foundation for rigorous data science work, both applied and in research. Starting from key foundations (the shell, git, Markdown and SQL), we focus on a solid introduction to programming in R. Next we discuss keys to reproducible computing (R packages, Docker) as well as some computational and algorithmic foundations. Finally, we examine in some detail extensions for better performance, notably using C++ with R. Course Information: 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. May be repeated with approval. Prerequisite: STAT 410, STAT 420, and STAT 425 or consent of instructor. Students who previously enrolled in STAT 385 should not register for this course.
