EAEE4257 ENVIR DATA ANALYSIS & MODELING

Teaching Assistant, Columbia University, Earth and Environmental Enginnering, 2022

Introduction parametric and non-parametric statistical models applied to climate and environmental data analysis. Time and space data analysis methods will be focused, including clustering, autoregressive models, trend analysis, Bayesian analysis, missing data imputation, geostatistics, principal components analysis. Application to problems of climate variation and change; hydrology; air, water and soil pollution dynamics; disease propagation; ecological change; and resource assessment. The class requires the use of R with hands-on programmings and a term project applied to a current environmental data analysis problem.
