Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquire skills related to exploratory data analysis and data visualization. During this course, students will gain a basic insight into different kinds of data analysis. Students will be able to analyze different types of data using appropriate analytical methods and they will be able to describe analyzed data and their structure. Using appropriate visualisation techniques, students will be able to present analyzed data in a clear and comprehensible manner.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
- Realize an exploratory data analysis and write a data analysis report.
- Use several analytical software tools to perform an appropriate data analysis.
- Use different kinds of visualisation techniques to create effective visualizations of data.
