Thank you for teaching high dimensional statistics with R! We hope you enjoy teaching the lesson. This page contains additional information for instructors.
The materials for each episode are self-contained and can be found through the episode links on the home page. The slides in the Extras section can be used to supplement these materials.
In previous rounds of teaching, the lesson was taught in four sessions, each lasting 2 hours and 50 minutes. We also advise allowing around 40 minutes of additional time for breaks. The recommended timings for each session are as follows:
Session 1:
- Introduction to high-dimensional data (episode 1): 30 minutes of teaching time, 20 minutes for exercises (total: 50 minutes).
- Regression with many outcomes (episode 2): 70 minutes of teaching time, 50 minutes for exercises (total: 120 minutes).
Session 2:
- Regularised regression (episode 3): 110 minutes of teaching time, 60 minutes for exercises (total: 170 minutes).
Session 3:
- Principal component analysis (episode 4): 90 minutes of teaching time, 40 minutes for exercises (total: 130 minutes).
- Factor analysis (episode 5): 30 minutes of teaching time, 10 minutes for exercises (total: 40 minutes).
Session 4:
- K-means (episode 6): 60 minutes of teaching time, 20 minutes for exercises (total: 80 minutes).
- Hierarchical clustering (episode 7): 70 minutes of teaching time, 20 minutes for exercises (total: 90 minutes).
