The ability to understand, analyze and interpret
Big Data for business purposes has
become ever more important in the
last few years. In order to make intelligent decisions, one
must have access to data and information. The
main issue is thus, how does one approach large
quantities of data with the purpose of intelligent decision-
making? The purpose of this course is to introduce the
concepts, techniques, tools, and applications of data
mining, using a commercially available data-mining
software. The material is approached from the perspective
of a business analyst, with an emphasis on supporting
tactical and strategic decisions. Students should expect to
get hands dirty with real data and analysis software, to
perform some common data-mining tasks and earn skill as a
business analyst.
