About

The SQC & OR Unit, Mumbai, Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata is organizing an Online Certification Program on Business Analytics & Data Mining from December 2020 to February 2021.

The Indian Statistical Institute is a quasi central organization under the Ministry of Statistics & Program Implementation. It is declared by an Act of Parliament as an Institute of National Importance. Over the years the Institute has grown as a multidisciplinary organization. It functions as a University empowered to award degrees up to Ph.D.; as a Corporation in undertaking large-scale projects; as a Firm of Consultants to industries to improve Quality, Reliability, and Efficiency and as a meeting place.

Course Objectives

This program is designed to guide business analytics/ data mining professionals in extracting implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful knowledge from large data sets, developing performance models & usage optimization techniques.

The participants will acquire the knowledge on, various statistical and analytical techniques required for business analytics and data mining. All the topics will be covered using R-studio and MS-Excel.

Course Content

The course is divided into 5 modules as follows:

Module-1: Introduction, Basic Concepts, and EDA

• Introduction to Analytics and concepts of statistical/ machine learning/ analytics problems.
• Introduction to random experiments and random variables.
• Descriptive Statistics and Graphs & Charts for data visualization.
• Sampling Concept and Methods.
• Probability and Distributions, understanding normal distribution, a brief introduction to some useful distributions, probability computations.
• Exploratory Data Analysis.
• Introduction to R programming (writing R codes for data manipulation and simple graphics as well as basic statistical computations) with hands-on exercises.

Module-2: Hypothesis Testing and Prediction Modelling-1

• Estimation and hypothesis Testing
• Estimation of parameters like means, variances, proportions, and model parameters in different circumstances and their usages in analytics;
• Formulating hypotheses in real-life scenarios
• Test for means, variances, proportions, odds ratios, and relative risks
• Correlation and Regression, Scatter plot, Mean Plot, and Scatter plot smoothing
• Concepts of cross-validation – usage of the validation set, LOOCV, k fold cross-validation, and concepts of bootstrap.
• Multiple linear regressions, Stepwise and Best Subset Regression, Model selection criteria (AIC, BIC, etc.)

Module-3: Prediction Modeling -2

• Multiple Linear Regression – polynomial and basis function expansion; Ridre and Poison Regression
• Logistic regression; Assessment of classification model using ROC, AUC
• Introduction to censored data, Survival analysis models
• Nonparametric estimation of survival probability using the Kaplan – Meier method
• Classification and Regression Tree including concepts of bagging, random forests and boosting, fitting, and validating tree-based models

Module-4: Forecasting and Segmentation

• Forecasting Models exponential smoothing (Holt and winters model) and ARIMA.
• Cluster analysis, hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster
• Factor Analysis
• Linear and Quadratic Discriminant Analysis
• Support Vector Analysis and K-nearest neighbor

Module-5: Neural Network and Deep Learning

• Association rule mining (Market Basket) analyses
• Artificial Neural Network and introduction to deep learning
• Bayesian Methodology – Naïve Bayes classifier; Monto Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC), Bayesian regression trees
• NLP and text mining

Who can Attend?

Managers/ Executives/ Professionals/ Students associated with data analysis or planning to make a career in Analytics Should be a graduate in any discipline. [Note: The participants should have a basic understanding of calculus, matrices, and linear algebra. Attending the program without this background is possible, but likely to be more challenging.]
