Overall Educational Objective
Course Description This course examines various case studies arising from different application areas. With the aid of experienced academicians and practitioners, each week the students will go through the main steps of tackling analytics problems. With each case study, the data manipulation tools shall be revisited. Attention will be given to feature reduction and model selection. Each case study will be completed by a complete analysis and interpretation of the results
