Course Objectives The course introduces the principles and methods of data science – learning from data for prediction and insight. The course covers the key data science topics including getting data, visualizing and exploring data, statistical analysis of data, and the data science’s use of machine learning. The course focuses on developing hands-on data skills by offering the students to complete a data science project.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • define computer tools to obtain, clean, and analyze data,
  • apply statistical methods and visualization to explore data.
  • use statistical and computational methods to make predictions from data.
  • perform data analysis with machine learning methods,
  • use statistics and data visualization tools to communicate the outcome of data analyses.
Course Description The following topics will be included: getting and cleaning data, exploring data, statistical models of data, statistical inference, main machine learning methods in data science including linear regression, SVM, k-nearest neighbors, Naïve Bayes, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, clustering, and dimensionality reduction, over-fitting, cross-validation, feature engineering.
