The overarching aim of Applied Biomedical Sciences 2 (ABMS2) is to develop your understanding and skills as practicing biomedical scientists. It will consist of four streams of activity: data analysis; pharmacology; pathology; and practicals. Through practical classes you will learn about the theory and practice of techniques commonly used by biomedical scientists in both basic and applied biomedical science research. The practical classes will be designed to use and complement the content being contemporaneously delivered in other courses.

This course provides an introduction to probability, statistics, and data analysis from a computer programmer’s point of view. You will make use of computer simulations to develop an intuitive understanding of statistical concepts, which you will then examine more rigorously. An emphasis is placed on building practical skills in regular computing practicals and formative exercises.

Financial econometrics is the intersection of statistical techniques and finance. It provides a set of empirical tools to analyze historical financial data, model underlying economic mechanisms, and predict future price trends. This course covers both cross-sectional and time-series data. Multivariate regression analysis is developed to study the cross-sectional differences in stock returns of individual firms and associated portfolio models. Applications of these techniques to evaluate the performance of new trading strategies and hedge fund managers are also discussed.

Introductory course emphasizing techniques of linear algebra with applications to engineering; topics include matrix operations, determinants, linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors, inner products and norms, orthogonality, equilibrium, and linear dynamical systems.
