This week I will be giving a lecture at the 2018 edition of the Summer School at the UB School of Economics, in Barcelona. It will be a four day crash course, starting on Tuesday (morning).
Lecture 1: Introduction : Why Big Data brings New Questions
Lecture 2: Simulation Based Techniques & Bootstrap
Lecture 3: Loss Functions : from OLS to Quantile Regression
Lecture 4: Nonlinearities and Discontinuities
Lecture 5: Cross-Validation and Out-of-Sample diagnosis
Lecture 6: Variable and model selection
Lecture 7: New Tools for Classification Problems
Lecture 8: New Tools for Time Series & Forecasting
Some slides are available on github, and probably more interesting, I will upload a R markdown with all the codes.
In July, I will give a lecture at the 2018 edition of the Summer School at the UB School of Economics, in Barcelona. It will be a four day crash course. Registration should be opened.

On April 5th, I was at the Universitat de Barcelona, to give a talk on Data Science & Big Data for Actuaries. Slides were available in a previous post. And here is the video,
This Wednesday, I will give a graduate crash course on computational actuarial science, with R, which will be the second part of the lecture of Tuesday. Slides are now available,
Tuesday afternoon, I will give a lecture on Data Science & Big Data for Actuaries in Barcelona, for Summer School of the Asociación Española de Gerencia de Riesgos y Seguros. For this two hour lecture, there will be live streming on UBtv. Slides are available online (as usual, download the pdf to get the animated version)
Monday, a bit before noon, Leo Guelman (organisor of the Toronto R User Group, and author of the great uplift package) defended his PhD thesis, on Optimal Personalized Treatment Learning Models with Insurance Applications, supervized by Montserrat Guillén.
After the defense, I was invited to give an interview, on data science.
