Description
The aim of this course is to introduce various modeling approaches, including scalar discrete dynamical systems and the generalized linear model in statistics (using R software for the "statistical modeling" part).

The "Statistical Modeling" theme is subject to continuous assessment (in the form of an R project, coef. 2.5) and a written exam lasting 1h30 with authorized documents (coef. 5) at the end of the semester.
Theme 2: Scalar dynamic systems (4h CM 5h20 TD - Lecturer: Christophe Jauze)
Chapter 1: General presentation
Chapter 2: Reminders on numerical sequences
Chapter 3: Sequences defined by a recursive linear relationship
Chapter 4: Sequences defined by a non-linear function on two consecutive terms
Chapter 5: Generalization
The "Scalar dynamic systems" theme is subject to continuous assessment (in the form of a homework assignment, coef. 1) and a written exam lasting 1h30 without documents (coef. 2) during the semester.
Authorized documents (da) for exams on themes 1 and 2:
Only one double-sided A4 sheet of personal handwritten notes is authorized for exams (in sessions 1 and 2). Photocopies are not permitted. This document will be returned with the exam paper, and will be returned at the student's request after marking.
"Philosophy of TDs":
Theme 1: Statistical modeling
The aim of TDs is to understand the underlying stochastic models and associated methodologies, and to interpret estimated models (numerical and graphical outputs from R statistical software) in the context of real-life problems.
Theme 2: Scalar dynamical systems
Practical exercises focus on applications that may be related to problems in finance, demography, electronics, etc.
"Philosophy of practical exercises:
Theme 1: Statistical modeling
Statistical modeling concepts covered in lectures and practical exercises are implemented with R, using simulated and real data associated with a variety of problems (environment, biology, etc.).).
Theme 2: Scalar dynamic systems
There are no practical exercises for this theme.
"Project philosophy":
Theme 1: Statistical modeling
Engineering students are required to carry out a project in R as part of their continuous assessment (CC). The aim of the project is to apply the concepts of statistical modeling covered in class/DD/PT to real data and problems.
Theme 2: Scalar dynamic systems
There is no project as such, but students are required to do an individual homework assignment.
