Introduction to the Basics of Data Science
Data Science is intended to provide students a basic knowledge of analysis, machine learning algorithms, and visualisation approaches are some of the primary topics, methods, and tools covered in the course. The course will also cover privacy and ethical concerns in data science, as well as the significance of effectively communicating data findings to stakeholders. This course's goal is to give students the fundamental information and abilities they need to either pursue a career in data science or to use data science methods in their chosen professions.
Skills you will learn
- Data Collection and Cleaning: Learn how to gather and prepare data for analysis, including dealing with missing or inconsistent data.
- Data Exploration and Analysis: Understand the basics of statistical analysis, including hypothesis testing and regression analysis.
- Machine Learning: Learn the fundamentals of machine learning algorithms, such as decision trees, linear regression, and k-nearest neighbours.
- Data Visualization: Discover the importance of visualising data to communicate insights and learn how to create effective visualisations using tools like ggplot and matplotlib.
- Ethical and Privacy Issues: Explore the ethical and privacy considerations in data science, including issues related to data bias and algorithmic fairness.
- Communication of Data Insights: Learn how to effectively communicate data insights to stakeholders through clear and concise reports and presentations.
- Hands-On Practice: Get hands-on experience working with real-world data sets and applying the techniques and tools covered in class.
