CS5103 Fundamentals of Data Science PCC 4–0–0 4 Credits

The course will introduce students to the data scientist toolkit and the underlying core concepts. It will cover the full technical pipeline
from data collection to processing, basic notions of statistical analysis and data visualization techniques. This course will provide
with the basic toolkit to work with data sets in different formar (CSV, R, Google Refine). To support these learning outcomes, the course
will include exercises and a group project in which students will use existing open data sets and build their own application

Course Aim: The aim of offering this course is to become a proficient data scientist and practitioner.
Theory Class Hours: Tue (11-12), Wed(10-11), Thu(10-11), Fri(10-11);
Course Outcomes: At the end of the course the student will be able to:

CO1 Apply statistical methods to data for inferences.

CO2 Analyze data using Classification, Graphical and computational methods.

CO3 Understand Data Wrangling approaches.

CO4 Perform descriptive analytics over massive data.
