Course description and aims

In this course, we study linear regression models, their nonlinear extension, and nonparametric methods to be able to use appropriate statistical method for data analysis.

Student learning outcomes

The purpose of this course is to grasp the idea of some well-known statistical methods and master those methods.

Keywords

series estimator asymptotic theory, linear regression, nonlinear regression, nonparametric regression, series estimators.

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills ✔ Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

We first study basic asymptotic theory which is often used in econometrics and statistics (classes 1-4). Then we introduce linear regression models and study asymptotic properties of least square estimators (classes 5-7). As extension of linear models, we also introduce some nonlinear regression models such as LAD and quantile regression and study those statistical properties (classes 8-9). In classes 10-15, we focus on nonparametric method which are also often used in econometrics and statistics. In particular, we study nonparametric kernel regression (classes 10-12) and series estimators (classes 13-15).
