DATA 7302OL - Real Data: Modern Methods for Finding Hidden Patterns

This course builds upon DATA 7201OL Data Taming, to introduce advanced modern techniques for extracting meaningful information from real-world, messy datasets. The course covers methods such as generalised linear models, classification, advanced regression techniques, and unsupervised statistical learning. A particular focus will be data wrangling techniques for non-standard, big, “messy data”: natural language processing, networks and longitudinal data. The course teaches advanced R programming techniques for data science.
