Aim: The aim of this course is to discuss various topics that are relevant to non-linear modelling in situations where no parametric model of the system is available. We will address fundamental issues involved, and describe methods including both Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches. The choice of topics is not exhaustive but rather governed by our personal experiences and inclinations. Full description including schedule is available.
