This course will provide participants with a foundation on what data science is and will focus on linking business questions to statistical techniques, and linking analytical results to business value. Participants will learn how to make sense of data using simple statistical techniques and how best to visualize data. Tableau for data visualisation and presentation, and Python for data analysis will be introduced in the class.

(Can be read together with DSA2362)

Decision Trees for Machine Learning and Data Analysis

Decision tree methods predict the value of a target variable by learning simple decision rules from the data. Use real data to compare the strengths and weaknesses of decision tree models with those obtained by linear and logistic regression and discriminant analysis. Possible applications include economic surveys, credit card data, vehicle crash tests data and precision medicine.
