| Content | Recent years have seen a massive increase in the use of data analysis for business and economic decision making. Driven by the growing availability of mass storage facilities, the collection of data has been facilitated and is heavily used. This, however, has also increased the demand for suitable methods to extract essential information from the data. Traditional methods of statistical multivariate data analysis have been refined and supplemented with new computational approaches. The objective of this course is to discuss and apply main concepts in this area. Having introduced basic methods for data collection and representation, the main focus will be on multivariate methods. Apart from statistical methods, approaches from computational intelligence and machine learning will be introduced. The course includes strong "hands-on" elements in the computer lab where students learn how to apply the concepts to actual data sets, using software such as R, SPSS, MS Excel, etc. Tentative Course Outline: * Introduction * Revision of basic concepts and principles of data analysis and data mining * Data collection and cleaning * Knowledge representation * Multivariate methdods, including ANOVA, principle component analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, etc. * computational approaches, including machine learning and artificial intelligence * applied work, including solving case studies using relevant software |
