This AIS aims to provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to statistical learning and stochastic processes, with a particular focus on their applications in physical systems. The program begins with foundational topics in probability, random variables, and key statistical concepts, setting the stage for understanding advanced methods. Participants will explore statistical learning techniques, including model selection, regularization methods, and common algorithms like linear regression and decision trees, emphasizing their role in supervised and unsupervised learning.
In addition, the school delves into stochastic processes, with a special emphasis on Markov processes and stochastic differential equations, illustrating their relevance in modelling physical phenomena. Through practical sessions using Python and MATLAB, participants will gain hands-on experience applying statistical learning and stochastic processes to address challenges in different areas of fluid dynamics.
