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.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we will adopt a mixed lecture format that complements pre-recorded video lectures with live (offline or online) review sessions. Details will be announced on Moodle.

Assessment and permitted materials

- 2 labs (i.e. programming exercises including peer review), for each lab you will get a maximum of 18% of the required points.

- 2 pen-and-paper exercise sheets. They serve as a preparation for the exams. For each exercise sheet you will be able to get a maximum of 5% of the required points.

- 2 exams, one mid-term and one final, each 25% of the total points.

Furthermore you can complete:

- 1 exercise sheet to assess your current mathematical (prerequisite) knowledge, 1% of the total points.

- 3 anonymized feedbacks, each 1% of the total points.

- in addition you can earn at most 10% of bonus points for completing voluntary quizzes

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For bachelor students, the mandatory prerequisite for this class is the successful completion of the following courses:
- StEOP
- Programmierung 2 (PR2)
- Mathematische Grundlagen der Informatik 2 (MG2)
- Theoretische Informatik (THI)
- Modellierung (MOD)
- Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen (ADS)

Grading will be done according to the following scheme:
1 – at least 87.5%
2 – at least 75.0%
3 - at least 60.0%
4 – at least 40.0%

Please keep in mind that in order to pass the course, you will need at least 30% of the total score in all labs and homeworks combined with 40% of the total score of the tests.

In order to successfully pass the course, regular attendance is strongly recommended, however not mandatory.
