Course description and aims

Students will learn data science to utilize vast and diverse data for business, and acquire basic skills in data analysis. In particular, we will lecture on the characteristics of structured data and their analysis methods, keeping in mind its application to technology management, and acquire basic skills in data analysis through programming exercises.

Student learning outcomes

The goals of this course are as follows:
- To understand the basics of data visualization, statistical analysis, and machine learning
- To be able to use these methods to structured data for understanding and solving business problems

Keywords

Descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, data visualization, regression, classification, prediction, clustering, association analysis

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

We will lecture on the basics of statistics and machine learning for structured data, and through programming exercises, students will solidify their understanding and develop practical skills for data analysis (using Python and R). In addition, we will invite a corporate data scientist to lecture on the cutting-edge applications of data science in business.
