In this course students will learn about some more advanced and state-of-the art statistical inference issues and techniques that are relevant for modern applications that go beyond the scope of traditional statistical methods.
-
prediction versus association
-
observational versus experimental studies
-
bias and how to recognise and avoid it
-
basics of causal inference
-
semiparametric statistics
-
machine learning in statistical inference
Examples (with R code) will also be discussed.
