Data Analysis & Visualization

Catalog description

Modern data sets are growing exponentially both in size and complexity. Extracting meaningful information from these data requires not only programming skills, but also understanding the analysis methods, mathematical models and visualization tools that help to condense large amounts of information into a comprehensible story. This course will introduce standard data analysis and modeling methods, including correlation functions, linear regression, clustering, classification, as well as fundamental statistical and probabilistic concepts. With the data analysis functions, relevant visualization tools will be introduced for helping data explorations and analysis.
