The student's learning outcomes after passing the exam

Students will learn the main steps to reveal the information hidden in data: 1. Visual representation of the information; its synthesis as clusters and their interpretation. 2. The analysis of sequences of events. 3. To develop a predictive data mining model.

Forms of teaching and learning

Learning is done combining the theoretical explanations and their application to solve real cases. During the course students must solve and deliver three practical cases using R software, covering in overall each one of the course¿s topics.
