Business analysis fundamentals

This course introduces a variety of methods commonly used in predictive analytics, data mining, and managerial science. While most of us have heard how “hot” big data is nowadays, few of us understand what actually stands behind big data. In ten days, we’ll cover different data-driven and model-based approaches, such as K-Nearest Neighbors, Naïve Bayes, association rules, decision tree analysis, logistic regression, and others, which are widely used not only in business but also in many other fields, as the interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning increases. We’ll discuss the most popular applications of these approaches.
