Métodos Espetrais Numéricos
M6109 - ECTS
To solve numerically partial differential equations of the type advection/diffusion with 1, 2 or 3 spatial dimensions using fast Fourier transforms. The stability of the different numerical algorithms for the time evolution is also studied.
Generalized Linear Models
M6024 - ECTS
1. Training for regression analysis involving responses
following a distribution belonging to the exponential
family (generalized linear models)
2. Understanding the estimation processes used in
generalized linear models
3. Implementation of statistical analysis corresponding
to the models studied in an appropriate software
4. Promotion of the student's critical spirit and
autonomy
Advanced Topics in Dynamics and Geometry
M6002 - ECTS
General knowledge and uniformisation of skills in Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems and Differential Geometry.
Advanced Topics in Probability and Statistics
M6001 - ECTS
To review and develop the fundamental concepts, ideas and principles of the theory of probability and statistics.
Statistical Methods in Epidemiology
M6022 - ECTS
The curricular unit aims to equip students with the skills needed to correctly and confidently analyse and interpret data from case-control and cross-sectional studies, mainly through regression methods.
Logistic Regression and Survival Analysis
M6026 - ECTS
The aim of the course is to introduce different methods for estimation of parameters in logistic regression models under different contexts.
Remark: The students were interested in studying logistic regression models hence no survival analysis will be considered in this edition of the course.
Bifurcation Theory
M6034 - ECTS
Knowledge of some of the important methods
and results of bifurcation theory.
Topics in Turbulence
M6091 - ECTS
Study of the Navier-Stokes equations as well as the phenomenology and geometry of turbulence in two and three dimensions.
