Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to introduce students to the issues of decision making based on different types of data. Individual steps of the knowledge gaining process will be demonstrated on practical tasks. Students will get acquainted with techniques, tools and algorithms which are used during the process. At the seminars, students will get acquainted with the IBM SPSS Modeler and other open source tools, which are used to solve a wide range of managerial decision-making tasks based on a lot of data. Data mining procedures and algorithms, as well as the CRISP-DM methodology, will be introduced.
