Learning and teaching strategies

Assessment Strategies

 
 

Students will be able to:

CO1. Identify basic applications, concepts, and techniques of data mining. Student will also differentiate supervised and non-supervised techniques in data mining.

CO2. Create association rules and develop tree/graph in market busket dataset using Apriori and FP tree algorithms

CO3. Analyze large datasets to gain business understanding and apply classification, prediction and clustering algorithms.

CO4. Evaluate classification/prediction models using metrics like accuracy, ROC, RMSE, confusion matrix etc.

CO5. Generate quantitative analysis reports and perform comparative analysis of algorithms for decision making
