Description

Traditional multivariate methods for classification (Stochastic Gradient Boosted Decision Trees and Multi-Layer Perceptrons) are explained in theory and practise using examples from HEP. General aspects of multivariate classification are discussed, in particular different regularisation techniques. Afterwards, data-driven techniques are introduced and compared to MC-based methods.
