Students will learn basic data miningconcepts. this will help them in understanding analytical procedures used in Business Analytics through data mining approach.
Course Outcomes (COs):
Course outcome (at course level) | Learning and teaching strategies | Assessment Strategies |
Students will be able to: CO1. Identify basic applications, concepts, and techniques of data mining. Student will also differentiate supervised and non-supervised techniques in data mining. CO2. Create association rules and develop tree/graph in market busket dataset using Apriori and FP tree algorithms CO3. Analyze large datasets to gain business understanding and apply classification, prediction and clustering algorithms. CO4. Evaluate classification/prediction models using metrics like accuracy, ROC, RMSE, confusion matrix etc. CO5. Generate quantitative analysis reports and perform comparative analysis of algorithms for decision making | Approach in teaching: Interactive Lectures, Discussion, reading assignments, Demonstrations, Group activities, Teaching using advanced IT audio-video tools
Learning activities for the students: Self-learning assignments, Effective questions, Seminar presentation, Giving tasks.
