Course Description

Data Analytics – Mining and Analysis of Big Data

In this online data analysis course Data Analytics – Mining and Analysis of Big Data you will be introduced to the concept of big data and to a number of techniques that are used to analyse and interpret big data. The course starts off with introducing you to big data and lists the four V’s of big data. You will learn about associative rule mining, and about when association can be applied and the patterns that arise in mining. In the second module, you will learn about clustering analysis. You will examine the difference between clustering and classification and the different types of clustering. You will also learn about K-means clustering and K-meloids. In the last module, you will learn about online and active learning, learn about experimentation and the difference between an online and offline context of creating data. You will be introduced to the n-arm bandit problem and how to find solutions for the multi-arm bandit problem. This free online course will be of great interest to professionals involved in data science and data analysis and any learner who wants to learn more about analysing big data using mining and clustering techniques.
