The courses will introduce a variety of statistical learning and data mining techniques for classification, regression, clustering and association purposes. Possible topics include, classification and regression trees, random forests, Apriori algorithm, FP-growth algorithm and support vector machines. The lectures will be supplemented with laboratory sessions using the statistical software package R.
The courses will:introduce statistical learning and data miningintroduce advanced data analysis techniques for classification, regression, cluster analysis and association analysisintroduce the use of the statistics software package RYou will be able to:describe and conduct appropriate statistical modeling techniquesbe able to interpret the analysis results in such a way that a non-user of statistics can understandUse R competentlyWrite a scientific and technical report
