Description
CSC 432 Data Mining Three credit hours
This course discusses how data mining technologies are used to transform large quantities of data into information to support tactical and strategic decisions in business and bioinformatics. We will discuss applications of data mining technologies in customer relationship management (CRM), direct marketing, ecommerce, finance, and retailing. Although we discuss some workings of the technologies, the focus of the course is learning when and how to use the technologies in business and bioinformatics applications. We approach the material from two perspectives, a business analyst and a bioinformatics specialist. The course is designed primarily for students taking a Minor in Bioinformatics and those concentrating in information systems. Prerequisites: Consent of the Department.
