Course description and aims

In the current society, it is essential in all fields to appropriately exploit "big data" for finding rules and/or making predictions/decisions. This course gives fundamental knowledges and basic skills for handling large-scale data sets with the aid of computers.

Student learning outcomes

Students will be able to apply basic knowledges on statistics for analyzing data and evaluating the obtained results mathematically.

Keywords

classification, clustering, principal component analysis, dimension reduction, training/generalization errors, cross validation

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In each week we give a lecture and an exercise session.
