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 aims to help students to manipulate computer software tools for data analysis to get new findings.

Student learning outcomes

Students will be able to understand the basis of data processing mechanisms and make use of various data analysis software tools appropriately.

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 class, students are required to solve exercise problems that are linked with the contents of taught course ``XCO.T487 Fundamentals of data science".
