NOC:Introduction to Data
Analytics - Video course

COURSE OUTLINE

Data Analytics is the science of analyzing data to convert


information to useful knowledge. This knowledge could help us
NPTEL
understand our world better, and in many contexts enable us to http://nptel.ac.in
make better decisions. While this is broad and grand objective,
the last 20 years has seen steeply decreasing costs to gather,
store, and process data, creating an even stronger motivation
for the use of empirical approaches to problem solving. This
Management
course seeks to present you with a wide range of data analytic
techniques and is structured around the broad contours of the
different types of data analytics, namely, descriptive, inferential,
predictive, and prescriptive analytics. Pre-requisites:

This course requires that you
