I am gathering here links I find interesting for my own research, and for mathematics in general.
General ressources on mathematics
- A course on complex analysis (introduction, in French): http://www-irma.u-strasbg.fr/~maudin/analysecomp.pdf
- Many ressources from MIT, undergraduate and graduate level: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/index.htm
Ressources on measure theory, probability
- probability.net, a set of tutorials on measure theory and probability. The strong point of this webpage is that all proofs are done through exercices, and there is almost no requirements beside really basic mathematics (you will need some practice in mathematics, but you don't need any background on topology or measure theory for the proofs: any point used in a proof is proved before)
- The book "Probability, Random Processes, and Ergodic Properties", by R. Gray. This is a great introduction to the fundamentals of statistical signal processing. Of interest is a proof of the famous Kolmogorov Extension theorem. Can be found there: http://ee.stanford.edu/~gray/arp.html.
- The same R. Gray wrote a introduction book on stochastic processes which I find better written than the often cited Papoulis reference. This book is much less oriented towards rigourous proofs compared to "Probability, Random Processes, and Ergodic Properties" by the same author (it does not require any knowledge of measure theory), and as such, is much easier to read for people without the need for strong mathematics behind the theory of stochastic signal processing. Available online here: http://ee.stanford.edu/~gray/sp.html.
Ressources on machine learning
General
- Online ressources from Berkeley on statistical learning theory: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jordan/courses/281B-spring04/ (other ressources are available on Pr M. I Jordan webpage).
Dynamic systems
- Online ressources from E. Moulines on Hidden Markov Models, dynamic linear systems and particle filters in this page.
Baysian inference
- The book Information theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms from David McKay is available here. A great book on Bayesian inference, its links with statistical physics and coding theory. The book is somewhat dense, and I don't think it is appropriate for an introduction, but otherwise, highly recommended. This is the book which made me understand what Bayesian inference is about.
- Some papers on Variational Bayes.
