Kursinhalt
This course is dedicated to conveying a sense of how to structure analytic projects systematically, from understanding of the business problem over modelling up to model assessment and communication of the project's results (or a project proposal) to a client. The course introduces such a structure with an applied, step-by-step introduction that mixes theory and practical, hands-on implementation tasks (using Tableau and programming in R).
Whilst several fundamental data science techniques are introduced, explained and worked with, we do mainly focus on the overall analytic project process. Ultimately, this will also help to evaluate project pitches from a client’s perspective.
