    Course Outline

    Workshop on Data Science and Analytics

    Course Description
    Internet based digital businesses have grown rapidly in the last decade with Covid-19 providing a
    greater impetus. With such businesses on rise, naturally the amount of data is also increasing by
    leaps and bounds, now the data is being computed in exabytes and yottyabytes 1. Since there is a
    huge amount of data being accumulated it is imperative to have a scientific mechanism to extract
    knowledge from this data. Data Science provides a method to extract knowledge from this sea of
    data. A data scientist is expected to possess skills in mathematics, statistics, machine learning,
    databases and other branches of computer science along with a good understanding of the problem
    formulation to create an effective solution. This course will introduce students to the rapidly
    growing field of data science and analytics and its applications in different functional practices of
    business. Students will be exposed to various aspects of data science practice, together with data
    collection and integration, exploratory data analysis, predictive modelling, descriptive modelling
    and solution presentation.

    Learning Outcomes
    Deliverables of this course are:
    • Explain the concepts of Data Science and its components
    • Develop kill sets required to be a data scientist.
    • Understanding the applications of statistical tools
    • Python programming language for statistical modelling and analysis
    • Exploratory data analysis (EDA) in data science.
    • Apply machine learning algorithms (Linear Regression, Logistics Regression) for
    predictive modelling.
