Curriculum

Course1. Data Mining and Warehousing:
The Data Mining and Warehousing course introduces students to the basic concepts, principles, methods, implementation techniques, and applications of data mining, with a focus on major data mining functions like pattern discovery, classification, text mining, spatial data mining, cluster analysis and more.

Course2. Data Analytics & Reporting:
The Data Analytics and Reporting course provides students with an introduction to data, the various steps involved in data preprocessing, and the tools used to analyse data. The course has two important objectives: (1) the use of tools and techniques to analyse data properties; (2) to extract relevant information from data and use different ways of reporting data. Data analysis is the cornerstone for any predictive analytics wherein the steps involved in getting clean model development data consume almost 90% of the entire project effort. This course helps students to derive insights from the data based on machine learning models and create reports.

Course3. Data Modelling & Visualization:
Data Modelling & Visualization course provides the basic framework for performing data analysis using some fundamental data modeling and data visualization techniques. Using R as a programming language, students will implement industry assignments to gain experience in framing a basic comprehensive solution to a data analysis problem in a structured framework leveraging an integrated virtual environment.
