Massive collections of data are created by businesses, governments, and individuals as a by-product of their activity. Therefore, decision-makers and systems depend on intelligent technology to analyze data systematically to improve decision-making.
In this course, our focus is on the ability to understand and translate business challenges into data mining problems and on examining how data analysis technologies can be used to improve decision-making. Therefore, we will emphasize heavily on students obtaining hands-on experience in implementing a range of commonly used data mining techniques by using “R”, the widely used programming language, on business analytic problems.
We will study the fundamental principles and techniques of data mining, and we will examine real-world examples and cases to place data-mining techniques in context, to develop data-analytic thinking, and to illustrate that proper application is as much an art as it is a science.
