Description: The main purpose of this course is to expose students to the interactive process of analyzing and exploring enterprise data to find insights that can be leveraged for competitive advantage. We will apply analytical tools to data in order to learn how to discover patterns and associations in business data that would otherwise be ignored. We will understand the difference between supervised and unsupervised learning, and learn how to select the correct tools for descriptive and predictive analytics.
