Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Apply descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics for business intelligence purposes.
- Use SQL and its extensions as well as statistical functions provided natively by the underlying data warehouses and big data solutions to determine basic statistical description of data.
- Apply data clustering and regression techniques supplied by popular off-the-shelf business intelligence solutions to conduct predictive analysis.
- Integrate data clustering approaches such as K-Means / NN, Bayesian Classifier, Decision Tree as well as regression techniques including neural nets to the data warehouses and big data storage.
- Implement and integrate prescriptive analytics to optimize business decisions.
- Integrate libraries supporting plots, charts and maps with database applications to support custom visual analytics needs of business intelligence.
- Describe data and expose any coherence, correlations and/or trends among data values through suitable visual representations for visual analytics purposes.
- Generate 3D models and AR/VR augmented representations of data using 3D modeling tools and AR/VR platforms to evaluate efficacy of such data visualization approaches for business intelligence and decision making.
