Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD)

SECS-S/01 - STATISTICS

Period

Secondo semestre (lauree magistrali) dal Feb 20, 2023 al May 19, 2023.

Learning objectives

The goal of the course is to provide students with mathematical, statistical and computational tools for a rigorous understanding of machine learning. A central aspect is the critical discussion of how and to which extent machine learning methods are essential in large scale data analysis in order to develop a professional profile combining solid quantitative skills with an in-depth knowledge of economic and corporate dynamics to support strategic decisions based on data analysis. At the end of the course students will be able to master classical methods of machine learning, implement data analysis algorithms, choose the most suitable techniques, identify relevant structures underlying the data for prediction purposes, critically discuss the output generated by a machine learning technique.

Prerequisites and basic notions

The knowledge provided in the basic courses of statistics and econometrics is assumed.

Program

- Overview of Statistical Learning
- Linear Regression Models and Least Squares

Bibliography

Didactic methods

The course includes 36 hours of frontal teaching, of which 24 hours of lessons (equal to 4 CFU) and 12 hours of lab sessions (equal to 2 CFU).

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will test for
(a) the understanding of the theoretical tools (concepts and formal models) presented in the course,
(b) the ability to use theoretical tools to discuss results from a data set analysis.
The final exam will consist of two parts:
- a written exam on the material of the theoretical lectures and the lab sessions. At the end of the course one general
assignment will be given to be delivered before the oral exam on a date to be communicated later on,
- an oral test on the theoretical lectures of the course.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The theory part of the written test has a weight of 2/3, while the part on the use of the software has a weight of 1/3.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade of the exam results from the arithmetic average of the marks of the written and oral tests.

Internships

The curriculum of the three-year degree courses (CdL) and master's degree courses (CdLM) in the economics area includes an internship as a compulsory training activity. Indeed, the internship is considered an appropriate tool for acquiring professional skills and abilities and for facilitating the choice of a future professional outlet that aligns with one's expectations, aptitudes, and aspirations. The student can acquire further competencies and interpersonal skills through practical experience in a work environment.

Methods of teaching delivery

All lectures as well as all the exams are held in person. In particular, we highlight the importance of taking part in classroom activities in order to benefit from interaction with colleagues and instructors and participating in project works, presentations and group works that could be organized by the different courses.

Furthermore, as a further service to students, the lessons will be video-recorded and made available on the relevant e-learning platform of the courses unless otherwise communicated by the individual lecturers who will also define the methods and times for activating this service. However, it is underlined that the recordings do not represent a substitute for the lectures and activities carried out in the classroom.
