This two-day course will give a detailed overview of statistical models for regression and classification. Known as machine-learning in computer science and artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition in engineering, this is a hot field with powerful applications in finance, science and industry.

This is a very popular course, normally offered only twice a year in the U.S. and once overseas. Recently our Munich course was attended by 65 attendees from all over Europe.
