Teaching

Patrick Héas gives a course on Monte Carlo simulation methods in image analysis at université de Rennes 1, within the SISEA (signal, image, systèmes embarqués, automatique, école doctorale MATISSE) track of the master in electronical engineering and telecommunications.

François Le Gland gives

• a 2nd year course on introduction to stochastic differential equations, at INSA (institut national des sciences appliquées) Rennes, within the GM/AROM (risk analysis, optimization and modeling) major in mathematical engineering,

• a 3rd year course on Bayesian filtering and particle approximation, at ENSTA (école nationale supérieure de techniques avancées), Palaiseau, within the statistics and control module,

• a 3rd year course on linear and nonlinear filtering, at ENSAI (école nationale de la statistique et de l'analyse de l'information), Ker Lann, within the statistical engineering track,

• a course on Kalman filtering and hidden Markov models, at université de Rennes 1, within the SISEA (signal, image, systèmes embarqués, automatique, école doctorale MATISSE) track of the master in electronical engineering and telecommunications,

• and a 3rd year course on hidden Markov models, at Télécom Bretagne, Brest.

Valérie Monbet gives several courses on data analysis, on time series, and on mathematical statistics, all at université de Rennes 1 within the master on statistics and econometrics. She is also the director of the master on statistics and econometry at université de Rennes 1.
