Overview
With today’s digitisation and technology development, many organisations can collect and consolidate tremendous amounts of data and store them in databases and data warehouses with ease. In business analytics, you will use a variety of computational techniques and/or methods to evaluate and analyse huge sources of data in real time for trends, patterns, classification, relationship, and other useful information. You will learn and examine data sets for statistical inference, and conduct quantitative analysis, predictive modelling, regression, data mining, and optimisation. This is a practical based core unit and will provide you with foundation knowledge to contribute to the use of various data analytics for problem solving.
