IIT Dhanbad invites applications for the GIAN Course on Big Data Analysis through Copula. The last date to apply for this course is Nov 30, 2023.
Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad (abbreviated IIT (ISM), Dhanbad) is a public technical university located in Dhanbad, India. Formerly known as the Indian School of Mines opened on 9th December 1926, by Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India to address the need for trained manpower related to mining activities in the country with disciplines of Mining and Applied Geology. In 1967 it was granted the status of a deemed-to-be university under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956. Since its establishment, IIT(ISM) has undergone considerable expansion of its activities, and presently it can be considered a total technology education institute
The data analysis technique is very useful to analyze big data such as biological data, financial data, and spatial-temporal data collected from Biology, Economics, Engineering, Environment Science and Geology disciplines. By a theorem due to Sklar in 1959, a multivariate distribution can be represented in terms of its underlying margins by binding them together in a copula function. Copulas are useful devices to explain the dependence structure between variables by eliminating the influence of marginal functions.
A copula method for understanding multivariate distributions has a relatively short history in statistics literature; most of the statistical applications have arisen in the last twenty years. In this course,
diverse approaches to directional dependence via copula will be introduced with real examples using histone gene data, financial data, and psychology data. In addition, the course will introduce how to use copula functions in Data Science such as text mining, spatial data analysis and quality control.
The objectives of the course are:
Participants will gain some advanced knowledge on the above topics through lectures and tutorials with hands-on experiments. Also, case studies and assignments will be shared to stimulate the research motivation of participants
