Course objectives
The main goal of the course is to become familiar with interpolation and smoothing using one-dimensional and multivariate splines, generalised additive models, outlier detection with applications to electrocardiology, electroencephalography, shape analysis (geometrical morphometrics) on biological objects, statistical analyses of multivariate data, testing of multivariate statistical hypotheses, multivariate SVD models (e.g. generalized PCA), 2D/3D statistical visualisation and implementation to R language.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able:
- to understand principles of spline interpolation and smoothing for curves and surfaces;
- to build up and explain suitable model for curves and surfaces;
- to apply spline interpolation and smoothing to real data;
- to implement methods of spline interpolation and smoothing to R.

Teacher's information
The lectures are usually in Czech or in English as needed, and the relevant terminology is always given with English equivalents.

The target skills of the study include the ability to use the English language passively and actively in their own expertise and also in potential areas of application of mathematics.

Assessment in all cases may be in Czech and English, at the student's choice.

The lectures will be face-to-face or, if needed, online using MS Teams at the time of the normal lectures according to the schedule. Due to the possible low signal quality, I recommend students not to use the camera. Questions during the lecture will not be possible to ask by voice, but by chat.

The recording from the lecture will be uploaded in the IS sequentially and not in advance, so the recording will be uploaded only after the given lecture and before the next lecture. The recordnig does not have to contain a complete lecture, it is up to a teacher what to share from the record and share it with the students. What is a lecture recording? It can be a PDF of text written by the lecturer on the screen with an electronic pen during the lecture, and this can be supplemented by the voice (or voice and video) of the lecturer. Slides in PDF with TeX-ed text will always be available in the IS and will be shared only after the given lecture and before the next lecture.

The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2011, Spring 2014, Spring 2015, Autumn 2015, autumn 2017, Autumn 2018, Autumn 2019, Autumn 2020, autumn 2021, Autumn 2022, Autumn 2023.
