Latent Variable Methods for Engineering: CHE 765

Administrative Course outline Location and hours Course videos (last update: 04 November) Copyright and other legal stuff Announcements The next class, 11 November, starts at 15:00 There is some homework for you this week, but you don't have to hand anything in. Thanks for the course evaluations - they were very positive. Some follow-up: Please let me know, by email, the page numbers of any slides that have errors. I really want to fix those up and re-upload them to the website. There were requests for details on implementing models, and calculating limits. Just in time ... this is part of the next class. You asked for more applications: the rest of the course is purely application based, whereas the first classes were introducing the theory, with very minor applications. A few students requested a discussion about different software implementations: please remind me to raise this.
