Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Today's currency is data. However, data is only useful if we are able to extract useful information from it. This is the aim of data analysis in general. This course aims to survey the foundations of data analysis. This includes concepts from statistical inference, regression analysis, classification analysis, clustering analysis, dimensionality reduction.

Concepts as well as techniques are introduced and practiced.

Assessment and permitted materials

- 2 labs (i.e. programming exercises including peer review), for each lab you will get a maximum of 18% of the required points.
- 2 pen-and-paper exercise sheets. They serve as a preparation for the tests. For each exercise sheet you will be able to get a maximum of 5% of the total points.
- 2 exams, one mid-term and one final, each 25% of the total points.
Furthermore you can complete:
- 1 exercise sheet to assess your current mathematical (prerequisite) knowledge, 1% of the total points;
- 3 anonymized feedbacks (for a maximum of 3 feedbacks i.e. 1% for each feedback) These feedbacks can either be returned to the Tutor responsible for the lecture in an anonymized manner.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For bachelor students, the mandatory prerequisite for this class is the successful completion of the following courses:
- StEOP
- Programmierung 2 (PR2)
- Mathematische Grundlagen der Informatik 2 (MG2)
- Theoretische Informatik (THI)
- Modellierung (MOD)
- Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen (ADS)

Grading will be done according to the following scheme:
1 – at least 87.5%
2 – at least 75.0%
3 - at least 60.0%
4 – at least 40.0%

Please keep in mind that in order to pass the course, you will need at least 30% of the total score in all labs and pen-and-papers combined with 30% of the total score of the tests.

In order to successfully pass the course, regular attendance is strongly recommended, however not mandatory.
