Inhalte (short description):
The term Data Science generally describes the extraction of knowledge from large amounts of data, its goal to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of decision-making processes through the knowledge thus gained. The course covers basic and advanced concepts and methods of Data Science and their application in an economic context with a focus on supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods (e.g. linear and logistic regression, random forest, boosted decision trees, neural networks, clustering and dimensionality reduction). The course is organized according to the flipped-class-room concept (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom), i.e. students work out the theoretical contents supported by videos and textbooks in self-study and practising the application in classroom sessions based practical issues and case studies. The course is aimed at students of economics who want to gain first practical experience in the field of data science. Willingness to learn the Python programming language is a basic requirement. Lectures take place regularly during the lecture period. The module concludes with a written examination at the designated time after the lecture period.
