Métodos Descritivos de Data Mining

Objetivos

Data Mining uses interdisciplinary techniques, such as statistics, data visualization, database systems, and machine learning to identify original, useful, and understandable patterns in data.
This course will familiarize students with Data Mining applications and Data Mining projects lifecycle. Students will learn techniques for understanding and preparing data before building descriptive models, such as clustering or association rules (e.g., market basket analysis).
