Course Overview

Predictive Analytics is about discovering hidden patterns in data and making predictive outcomes using sophisticated statistical models and machine learning algorithms. While there are many GUI-based tools available, many data scientists still prefer to use programming languages for doing these advanced analytics due to the low set-up cost, huge flexibility to implement their desired functionalities and the support of broad user communities.

 

This course covers concepts, methodology, techniques and applications of predictive analytics using an open-source programming language. Several popular techniques such as cluster analysis, association analysis and decision trees will be introduced. There will be guided programming and participants will learn to perform data analyses and make decisions based on the analysis results.
