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. 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.
