Project outline

Please email me by 4 November a 1 page outline for your course project. Include

• a paragraph describing your objective (e.g. optimize a process, investigate the effect of robust preprocessing on several datasets)
• the data you have available (see some potential data sources below)
• how you plan to use latent variables methods (and possibly other methods) in your data analysis plan
