Preliminary curriculum

All main references correspond to Hastie et al. (2009): Elements of Statistical learning). So far whole chapters are included, but some parts will not be included in the curriculum.

All references to supplementary material is (if nothing else noted) to James et al 2013: An Introduction to Statistical Learning. These are not part of the curriculum but can be useful supporting material.
