Summary

General Information

This page contains information about the lecture "Intelligent Data Analysis" that is held in summer term 2014 by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Kruse. This page is updated during the course.

In many areas the overwhelmingly large volumes of data can hardly be assessed manually by a user: Think of market basket data collected in supermarkets. The analysis of this data however is important because they may reveal decisive information about e.g. the customers' buying behavior. Therefore, "intelligent" analysis techniques have to be devised that are capable to extract from illegible date comprehensible information.

In this lecture a multitude of methods are introduced that range from classical statistics (descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, parameter estimation, regression) over association rules, Bayesian classifiers, decision and regression trees, fuzzy data analysis to clustering techniques.

Conditions for Certificates (Scheine) and Exams

Certificate (Übungsschein): There are assignment sheets published every week. Assignments the solutions of which you want to present in the exercise lecture have to be ticked beforehand on a votation sheet that is handed out prior to every exercise lecture. If ticked, you may be asked to present your solution in front of class. The solutions need not necessarily be completely correct, however, it should become obvious that you treated the assignment thoroughly. You are granted the certificate (Schein), if (and only if) you

  • ticked at least two thirds of the assignments,
  • presented at least twice a solution during the exercise, and
  • passed a small colloquium (approx. 10 min) or a written test (if there are more than 20 students) after the course.

Exam: If you intend to finish the course with an exam, your are required to meet the certificate conditions. The exam will be oral unless more than 20 students intend to do an exam. In such a case the oral exam will be converted into a written one.
