| Course contents : | The course is divided into two parts:.
The first part presents the main technics of multivariate statistics that are useful in management and the second one considers advanced tools for data exploration (datamining).
The first part starts with the presentation of some descriptive techniques and then goes on with the main dimension reduction methods (PCA, canonical analysis).
Specific methods used in Marketing will be presented. The courses ends with the consideration of different classification techniques (discriminant analysis, logistic regression,...).
The second part is about dataming. When is it usefull? What kind of analyses can we perform? What are the most usual methods? Emphasis will be put on decision trees. |
|
| Course objective : | At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to
- find out which method would be most appropriate for analysing a multivariate data set.
- use the statistical software illustrated at the practicals
- interpret the results of the analyses. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Descriptive statistics, probability theory and inferential statistics. |
|
| Workshops : | After each theory lecture, practicals in a computer room will be organised. The students will be asked to analyse real data sets using a given statistical software. |
|
| Organization : | Each week, the students will be given homeworks in order to get familiar with the statistical software as well as the perfomed analyses. |
|
| Written notes : | Slides used during the lectures will be used as available lecture notes (available on the web campus Lol@).
Some chapters of the book "Introduction to Data Mining", written by Tan, Steinbach et Kumar (Pearson Edition) will be covered during the second part of the course. |
|
| Assessment : | The final mark will be a weigthed mean based on the following three results:
1) Assessments of the homeworks and oral discussion on these.
2) Written exam with the help of the statistical software. |
