Overall Educational Objective To learn the basic data analytics process with on hands applications using modern tools to explore data by summarizing, slicing/dicing and analyzing data via graphical and quantitative tools.
Course Description The aim of the course is to give the fundamentals of exploratory data analytics. Exploratory data analytics focuses on exploring data to understand the data’s underlying structure and variables, to develop intuition about the data set, to consider how that data set came into existence, and to decide how it can be investigated with more formal statistical methods.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders veri analitiğinin temellerini inceleyen bir ders olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma amaçlı veri analitiği verinin altında yatan yapılanmayı anlamaya, veri seti hakkında sezgi geliştirmeye, verinin nasıl ortaya çıkıp, nasıl hazırlandığını düşünmeye ve formal istatistiki metotlarla nasıl derinlemesine incelenebileceğine odaklanır.
