The aim of the course is to introduce the
student to the different concepts of
implementing an analytics process. Students
learn the process of problem
solving in analytics from data understanding
and preprocessing, through
modelling choices and implementation until the
interpretation, visualization
and utilization of the analysis. We will look
at typical real-life
applications of analytics. The course will
provide hands-on lectures to
performing the steps of modeling and analysis.

At the end of the course the student is
expected to be able to model
predictive time series problems that use
machine learning for performing
regression. The student learn to implement an
analytics process for
forecasting and to validate results by
calculating forecasting errors

This course includes topics on analytics systems,
Python development, feature
engineering, time series forecasting,
visualization, and error calculation.
