Big Data Management and Analytics        Management      Big Data

Course Description

Data analytics and data science are popular terms, and skills in these areas are in great demand. Data Analytics means apply analytics/rules on data and find/organize Big Data in meaningful form for business users to make data driven decisions. In predictive modeling (also called predictive analytics) we seek to predict the value of a variable of interest (purchase/no purchase, fraudulent/not fraudulent, malignant/benign, amount of spending, etc.) by using "training" data where the value of this variable is known.  Once a statistical model is built with the training data ("trained"), it is then applied to data where the value is unknown.
