About this Unit
The explosion of data in the internet age opens up new possibilities for agencies and business to better serve and market to its customers. To take full advantage of these opportunities requires the ability to consolidate, manage and extract information from very large diverse data sets. In science, data sets are growing rapidly, with projects routinely generating terabytes of data. In this unit we examine the software tools and analytic methods that underpin a successful Data Science Project and gain experience in big data analytics.
