Course Overview
Data Mining course studies algorithms that allow computers to find patterns and regularities in data, perform prediction and forecasting, and generally improve their performance through interaction with data. It is regarded as the key elements of a more general process called Knowledge Discovery that deals with extracting useful knowledge from raw data.
The process includes data selection, cleaning, coding, using different statistical, and machine learning techniques, and visualization of the generated structures. The course provides students with an appreciation of the uses of the data mining software in solving business decision problems. Students will gain knowledge of the theoretical background to several of the commonly used data mining techniques and will learn about the application of data mining as well as acquiring practical skills in the use of data mining algorithms.
