Course overview
For the data analysis to have high quality results, it is necessary to make the preparation of the input data. The aim of the course is to demonstrate basic methods of data preparation that includes methods of cleaning, transforming, introverting, normalizing and aggregating data, time series transformation, work with missing values as well as basic data reduction methods such as feature reduction, sample reduction, and discretization.
Content
Introduction to data preparation. Data cleaning. Work with missing values. Data Transformation. Sample Reduction. Aggregation of data. Transformation of time series. Data Integration. Normalization of data. Data discretization. Feature Reduction. Practice and Future. Exam preparation.
