In-depth study

This course will continue the learning covered in the introduction with two additional modules:

  • Module 5: PLS discriminant analysis + Super Vector Machine (SVM)
  • Module 6: Neural networks

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

After this course, the student will be able to conduct a complete exploratory data analysis from the data cleaning to the practical implementation.

The student will be also able to communicate the obtained results to stakeholders.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is composed of 6 modules as aformentionned. Each module includes:

  • one face-to-face session (2h) developping the theoritical concepts
  • one e-learning session (1h) applying in practice the exposed theoritical concepts
  • one e-learning session (3h) based on the resolution of a full data analysis dedicated to the exposed theoritical concepts
