I&C SCI X425.63

Effective Data Preparation

Broadly speaking, data preparation for data mining consists of three (3) elements:
1. Data Mining Process delineation (understanding the overall process)
2. Data Understanding (data cannot be properly prepared without first understanding it)
3. Data Pre-processing (transforming data into a form compatible with data mining)

This intensive hands-on course gives students the skills necessary to extract stored data elements, understand what they mean in the company, transform their formats and derive new relationships among them to produce a dataset suitable for analytical modeling. Students will learn how to produce a fully processed data set compatible for building powerful predictive models that can be deployed to increase business profitability. Required prerequisite: I&C SCI X425.61 Introduction to Predictive Analytics OR I&C SCI X425.60 Introduction to Data Science.
