Capstone Project

Catalog description

A capstone project is experimental project under the direction of a faculty advisor. All students will register and submit a project report after one semester to receive a grade. Students may work together on the same data sets and challenges but must establish separate subprojects, and submit individual reports/thesis. These independent study projects should involve an analysis of a data set in an application field using statistical learning/data mining techniques such as non-linear regression, supervised/unsupervised learning, dimension reduction, reinforcement learning, collaborative filtering or big-data methodology such as map-reduce/spark.
