Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Self-study (text study, reading, problematic tasks, practical tasks, experiments, research, written assignments), Demonstration of student skills
  • Home preparation for classes - 56 hours per semester
  • Semestral paper - 20 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The main contribution of the curse is to show students how to solve complex decision support tasks especially in medicine but also in the economy topics. Students will become familiar with the process of information and knowledge retrieval from complex real-world numerical as well as non-numerical data sets. Nowadays data mining software tools will be used throughout the curse.
Intermediate understanding of datamining tasks, abilities to work with contemporary software dataminig tools (e.g. IBM SPSS Modeler), team cooperation on complex projects.
Prerequisites
