Dublin, Ireland Nightcourses Full time

With the large quantity of data being collected from web sites or the catalogue of previous orders made by clients, data mining provides unique insights into the data which may have previously not been seen. Although possible to draw conclusions from small samples of data, the larger the collection becomes and the more variables that are introduced the process of deducing a simple insight becomes an impossible task. Data mining provides the ability to work with any data set size and draw new unseen perspectives on the data.

This course is designed to provide the learner with the skills needed to collect data from any data source and extract useful insights which have previous been unseen, providing a unique view on the problems faced during the business decision making process.

In this programme, the learner will become familiar with a suite of different leading tools available to gather information from different sources and apply commonly used algorithms to deduce answers to common business questions from data. Data mining aids the decision-making process by informing the key stake holders by relying on the most reliable source, the data available. This approach helps the decision-making process by making informed decisions before key changes or alterations are made to any business process.

This course is aimed at learners with no previous experience with data mining or data analysis and wish to begin the process of understanding how data is aggregated, cleaned and utilised for data mining processes. This is achieved using a wide collection of proprietary and open source data mining tools explored during the course.

Programme Aims and Objectives

This module aims to introduce the learner to the area of data mining and analytics by providing real world examples of business questions that can be encountered during day to day life, and how they can be solved using freely available data mining software packages.

  • Assess the needs of a customer and how they can be met with one or more developed data mining solutions
  • Assess and aggregate available data sources to utilise during a data mining process
  • Utilise industry standard methodologies for data mining, ensuring arobustprocess is created
  • Develop a data mining process to identify anomalies, clean and extract quality data to run the identified algorithms on
  • Run leading data mining software packages on available data to identify patterns and predict outcomes
  • Document and visualise the findings to inform the business decision making processes

The programme is delivered through tutor led classes, concentrating on labs and hands on skills providing the learner first-hand experience with each of the approaches and technologies described during the classes. Topics Covered during the programme include:
