Business Intelligence Case Studies
Volledige vakbeschrijving
This course treats the theory and practice of Business Intelligence. Tools for the analysis of data are discussed, as well as methods for discovering knowledge from information and using this knowledge for intelligent decision making.Methods for the analysis of data are presented, from current data mining toolboxes. We study how (and how not) to build predictive models to extract information from large data bases and how to interpret the more efficiently and to develop new services for the organizations that provide the data.
The course consists of applying up-to-data data mining techniques on real-life problems. These techniques will be implemented with modern software tools (SAS, SPSS modeler, Tableau, WEKA, XLMiner). Cases are selected from the literature and our own research experience.
