Dimensionality Reduction - Spring 2010 - Weekly and Other Readings
Textbook
There is no required textbook for the class.
Chapter 14 of Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman's book Elements of Stastisical Learning covers some similar material.
The book is available for download here.
I will be handing out class notes as we go along.
Some classic papers will be assigned as weekly readings.
To indicate you have completed a reading, use the
Online Reading Submission
page.
We will also be covering material similar to a variety of chapters from
a few other books which I will point out in class.
