Description
This course introduces data analytics methods which are often used to support business decisions, particularly data-intensive decision problems. Data science topics such as predictive modelling, data mining, different types of modelling problems, model evaluation and model deployment are discussed. This course relates to several application areas where business problems are studied from a data perspective, business decision making is supported using systematic data analysis. Examples of applications are operations, manufacturing, supply-chain management, customer behaviour modelling, marketing campaign performance, workflow procedures, and so on. Many decision problems in these application areas are characterized by large uncertainty in data. Uncertainty modelling techniques, discussed in this course, are designed to support data driven analysis under these circumstances.
