Applied Time Series Analysis

2011
The course intends to meet two goals. It provides tools for empirical work with time series data and is an introduction into the theoretical foundation of time series models. Much of statistical methodology is concerned with models in which the observations are assumed to be independent. However, many data sets occur in the form of time series where observations are dependent. In this course, we will concentrate on both univariate and multivariate time series analysis, with a balance between theory and applications. Students expected to prepare a project report on real life data. After completing this course, a student will be able to analyze univariate and multivariate time series data using available software as well as pursue research in this area. In order to emphasize application of theory to real (or simulated) data, we will use R or SAS.

Reinforcement learning with internal expectation in the random neural networks for cascaded decisions
Halıcı, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2001-10-16)
The reinforcement learning scheme proposed in Halici (J. Biosystems 40 (1997) 83) for the random neural network (RNN) (Neural Computation 1 (1989) 502) is based on reward and performs well for stationary environments. However, when the environment is not stationary it suffers from getting stuck to the previously learned action and extinction is not possible. To overcome the problem, the reinforcement scheme is extended in Halici (Eur. J. Oper. Res., 126(2000) 288) by introducing a new weight update rule (E-...

Designing, implementing, and evaluatİng a professİonal learning community for group exercise instructors
Mehrtash, Shabnam; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2021-4-07)
This study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate a Professional Learning Community (PLC) intervention for the Group Exercise Instructors (GEIs) working in a university setting "Sport for Health" program. To this end, initially, a six-week PLC intervention was designed by using the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM, 2018) professional standards for GEIs. Then, the PLC implemented by the participation of six GEIs'. Progression of the six-week PLC intervention and immediate and effects of the inter...
