Non-parametric regression techniques and concepts such as splines, kernels, regularization, and cross-valdiation are both important for the development and understanding of modern machine / statistical learning and also extremely useful and flexible tools for data analysis. Students in this course will learn how to use non-parametric techniques to analyze data and how the methods work. The course will focus on practical methods for data analysis not theory.
