We covered things such as Stochastic Optimisation, MCMC Algorithms, Changepoint Analysis and Anomaly Detection, and Bandits\/Decision Theory. We did a presentation at the end of each week (found below) and a final report furthering one in particular. My report on MCMC Algorithms is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/max-howell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/STOR608_Sprint_Report_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My Sprint Report!<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/max-howell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/STOR608_Sprint_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stochastic Optimisation<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/max-howell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/Sprint2_Group2-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MCMC<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/max-howell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/STOR608_Sprint_3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Changepoints<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/max-howell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2023\/01\/STOR608_Sprint_4__Copy_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandits<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have also done an 8 page report on queueing networks.
