About this course
The course gives an overview, from a statistical point of view, of Data Science and its core Machine Learning models and algorithms. It provides detailed knowledge of how these methods work and how statistical models are applied to analyze large data sets. The focus is on the important tasks of classification and regression (so called Supervised Learning) and clustering and anomaly detection (Unsupervised Learning). The data analysis friendly approach requires the use of a good statistical software. Python, which is the most popular open-source scripting language for Data Science at the moment, will be used for analysis and modeling. The syntax and the environment will be discussed in enough detail. Code in Python and R will also be provided.
