Occassionally, I teach a Ph.D. course in Computational Data Analytics (CDA) for economic and business students (partly together with Helge Liebert). The course typically emphasize both theory and practical computation.

Selected topics:

• Machine Learning for Prediction (R-tutorial: Used Cars)

• Web-Scraping (R-tutorials: Wikipedia, Kiva)

• Text Analysis (R-tutorial: Kiva)

• Causal Machine Learning (R-tutorial: Job Corps)

• Optimal Policy Learning (R-tutorial: Charitable Givings)

The R-tutorials can be downloaded in HTML. Alternatively, an interactive version of the R-tutorials is provided here.
