Course The general goal of this course is to teach the fundamentals of data science, particularly
Description data cleaning, data pre-processing, and data analytics with respect to statistical data
comprehension, predictive modeling (supervised learning), and data profiling
(unsupervised learning). The specific goal is to impart the skill of cleaning the data from
all types of noise and errors, understanding the data through statistical analysis, and
then applying mathematical modeling on data to extract actionable insights in a smart
and informed way through different data science techniques. For
this, the course is designed to be a complete hands-on course, with Python as the
preferred data science implementation language. The hands-on activities will be
conducted with core representative case studies related to the local and international
industries and markets.

• To excite students about the potential that resides in data and the value that
Course data analytics can add to business processes
Objectives • To impart skills related to data cleaning/wrangling, data
transformation/preprocessing, and data comprehension through statistical
analysis
• To impart skills related to analytical (mathematical) data modeling

Learning • Thorough knowledge about the science of data-driven decision making with
Outcomes respect to data science and its relationship to solving core business problems,
along with success stories
• Knowledge of data cleaning/wrangling in data science and practical skillset
(through hands-on activity)
• Knowledge on data transformation/ pre-processing in data science and practical
skillset (through hands-on activity)
• Practical skillset on extracting initial insights from data through statistical
analysis to facilitate data comprehension (through hands-on activity)
• Theoretical mathematical knowledge about standard predictive modeling
algorithms (supervised learning).
• Practical skillset on how predictions can be generated from data (through
hands-on activity)
• Theoretical mathematical knowledge about standard data profiling algorithms
(unsupervised learning)
• Practical skillset on generating data profiles (through hands-on activity)
