This course is an introduction to sequential decision making and reinforcement learning. We start with a discussion of utility theory to learn how preferences can be represented and modeled for decision making. We first model simple decision problems as multi-armed bandit problems in and discuss several approaches to evaluate [...]

Excel/VBA for Creative Problem Solving, Part 3 (Projects) (Coursera)

In this course, learners will complete several VBA projects. This is a project-based course. Therefore, the projects are quite open-ended and there are multiple ways to solve the problems. Through the use of Peer Review, other learners will grade learners' projects based on a grading rubric.

Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms and Computations (Coursera)

In this course you will learn a whole lot of modern physics (classical and quantum) from basic computer programs that you will download, generalize, or write from scratch, discuss, and then hand in. Join in if you are curious (but not necessarily knowledgeable) about algorithms, and about the deep [...]

CSE.0002x is an introduction to using computing to solve problems in engineering and science including simulation of time-dependent phenomena; optimization of systems; and quantification of uncertainty.

Data Science: Probability (edX)

Learn probability theory — essential for a data scientist — using a case study on the financial crisis of 2007–2008. In this course, you will learn valuable concepts in probability theory. The motivation for this course is the circumstances surrounding the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Part of what caused [...]

Risk Models for Project Managers: Monte Carlo and Beyond (edX)

Learn the risk manage tools that provide powerful insights into evaluating a project at each stage of its lifecycle to find strategies that work best for the stakeholders. Simulating budget and schedule risk across potential scenarios provides a clear decision space for project managers and maximizing [...]

Applied Bayesian for Analytics (edX)

Learn how to construct, fit, estimate and compute Bayesian statistical models with the help of OpenBUGS (freely available software). Bayesian Statistics is a captivating field and is used most prominently in data sciences. In this course we will learn about the foundation of Bayesian concepts, how it differs from [...]

Public Debt Dynamics under Uncertainty (edX)

This online course, presented jointly by the Institute for Capacity Development and the Fiscal Affairs Department, provides an overview of how to assess public debt dynamics under uncertainty. That is, the course discusses how to think about public debt projections when we acknowledge uncertainty about the key variables that [...]
