Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Today's currency is data. However, data is only useful if we are able to extract useful information from it. This is the aim of data analysis in general. This course aims to survey the foundations of data analysis. This includes concepts from statistical inference, regression analysis, classification analysis, clustering analysis, dimensionality reduction.Concepts as well as techniques are introduced and practiced.
Assessment and permitted materials
3 labs (i.e. programming exercises including peer review), for each lab you will get a maximum of 12% of the required points.
- 2 pen-and-paper exercise sheets. They serve as a preparation for the tests. For each exercise sheet you will be able to get a maximum of 5% of the required points.
- 2 exams, one mid-term where you can obtain up to 20% of the total points and one final with questions on the entire course where you can obtain up to 30%. UPDATE: The exams will be handled online via Moodle. For details please refer to the course page on Moodle. All exercises and exams are individual work.Furthermore you can complete:
- 1 exercise sheet to assess your current mathematical (prerequisite) knowledge.
- 3 anonymized feedbacks (for a maximum of 3 feedbacks i.e. 1% for each feedback) These feedbacks can be returned to the Tutor responsible for the lecture in an anonymized manner
- in addition you can earn at most 10% of bonus points for completing voluntary exercises
