66998	Discussion/ Recitation Online Lecture	1AG 1AG	ARRANGED 11:00AM -12:20PM	n.a. TR	Location Pending n.a.	Ellison, T Ellison, T	Availability: CrossListOpen (Restricted) Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/26-12/09/26 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Math’l Optimization for DS Section Info: Topic: Mathematical Optimization for Data Science This course explores the application, theory, techniques, and algorithms that are used to find the optimal solutions to constrained and unconstrained optimization problems. Students will learn to formulate and solve these problems using Python. We will cover the theory and algorithms behind common mathematical programming techniques including linear programming, integer programming, nonlinear programming, and multicriteria optimization. Additionally, we will explore how to enhance traditional statistical and machine learning models by integrating additional objectives and functions, tailored to meet specific problem requirements. Through this course, students will gain practical skills and theoretical insights necessary for applying optimization techniques in data science. Credit is not granted toward graduation for STAT 430: Mathematical Optimization with Machine Learning Applications and STAT 430: Mathematical Optimization for Data Science. Prerequisites: STAT 410 and MATH 257. This offering of Mathematical Optimization for Data Science covers largely the same content as Mathematical Optimization with Machine Learning Applications offered in Fall 2024. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Statistics department. Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

We will cover descriptive statistics for univariate and multivariate environmental data and the main probability models and statistical inference methods for environmental science applications; models for understanding the relationships between environmental variables including linear models, generalized linear models and non-linear models; model for spatial data including models for the spatial trend estimation and spatial interpolation and prediction; models for temporal data including temporal trend estimation and time series methods in the time domain and frequency domain; issues on data collection and monitoring network design and the statistical analysis of extreme events. All topics would be driven by analyzing real data set examples using R. Prerequisite: STAT 410 For up-to-date information about statistics course registration, please see our registration update pages: go.illinois.edu/StatisticsRegistration Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Statistics department. Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
