DECISION561F

This course examines the core ideas behind data science, challenges associated with data, and the interplay between data science and business decisions. We will focus on (i) general principles that are long lasting despite of the rapid changing technology; (ii) specific algorithms/technologies that are currently being used in many industries; and (iii) 'hands-on' analyses of actual datasets to develop methodologies. A variety of real life examples will be discussed such as customer retention, health risk prediction, and others. This course is for MMS: Foundations of Business students.
