ITEC-321 Advanced Business Analytics (3)

This course focuses on the business applications of advanced computational, visual, and text analytics, using both structured and unstructured data. Students gain knowledge with applied computational analytics such as prediction (classification and machine learning) and prescriptive (linear programming and data analysis). Students learn to answer business questions using visualization, discover previously unknown patterns, extract useful knowledge, and support business decision making. The course explores the application of unstructured (text) analytical applications and methods. It also introduces students to broad classes of techniques and to open source and commercial analytical tools in business problem solving. Prerequisite: ITEC-320 .
