14037 - Quantitative Data Analysis and Visualization for Business Environments Modulübersicht

Module Number: 14037
Module Title:Quantitative Data Analysis and Visualization for Business Environments
  Quantitative Datenanalyse und Visualisierung im betriebswirtschaftlichen Kontext
Department: Faculty 5 - Business, Law and Social Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Dost, Florian
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Students are able to visualize and present data, analysis results, and data-driven research designs. They know to collect and measure data, structure datasets, and analyze data in ways that are both structured and sound, as well as practically relevant (from a business perspective). Students have a comprehensive perspective to interpret and probe multivariate methods and machine learning model results. Furthermore they are familiar with software packages for data analysis (e.g., R, JASP, Python, etc.)
Contents:A practical research problem will be the focus of a group project in the second half of the semester. It will include a hackathon or seminar (typically one or two days) to work on the project and present a result.
To prepare for the project, lectures and exercises will provide basics and guidance in visualization techniques, statistics, machine learning, and (select) multivariate methods.
Examples may include: neural nets, decision trees, ANOVA, regression models, factor analysis, cluster analysis, empirical dynamic models, and more.

This module starts a data analysis process from the intended final presentation and then works backwards through the process. Therefore, the module puts a strong focus on visualization, preparation, and presentation of results and findings.
