Course Organization
In this course, you will complete several practical tasks in the realm of data analysis. These tasks can include both exploratory (descriptive) data analysis as well as the application of machine learning algorithms to specific datasets. The course is structured as a competition, i.e., all groups of students will receive the same tasks.
Each team will need to present their solution for each task. Intermediate reports will have to be submitted from time to time and a final report needs to be submitted at the end of the semester (September 30).
Prerequisites
- You are highly recommended to have completed a course on Data Science (e.g., "Data Science and Big Data Analytics" taught by Dr. Steffen Herbold or the Coursera Course "Machine Learning" by Stanford University) before entering this course. You need to be familiar with basic statistics (distributions, p/t/z-tests, etc.) and a range of machine learning algorithms (linear/logistic/lasso regression, k-means clustering, k-NN classification etc.).
- Knowledge of Python or R...
- ...and relevant libraries (e.g., SciKit Learn, Pandas, caret, etc.)
