IMPORTANT NOTE:

It is important to have your own PC for the practical lessons. Remember to take it with you before leaving. Please install the following software on your PC in advance to start your lessons smoothly:

  • R (>= 4.0)

Prof. Mak will invite all participants to a Slack channel for the summer school, where participants can ask questions, get interactive feedback and find the lecture and lab materials.

REFERENCES:

We will begin with the following textbook, then explore recent papers from the literature.
Gramacy, R. B. (2020). Surrogates: Gaussian process modeling, design, and optimization for the applied sciences. Chapman and Hall/CRC

All participants will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course. The university / ECTS credits granted for attendance of the course are established by the Director of your specific course of study, depending on your university/course criteria
