(3)    COURSE CONTENT

Programming knowledge and experience not only improves students' employability, but also teaches them analytical skills, such as breaking down a problem into smaller parts and identifying and reusing previously solved problems. The purpose of this course is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to write structured programs for solving Business Analytics problems. Although these basic principles can be achieved using any high-level programming language, the module introduces R as the introductory language. Although the module does not require previous programming experience, its analytical orientation is best suited for students who are particularly interested in problem solving and have strong analytical skills.

Introduction to the R language, basic concepts of the language such as variables, repetition structures, use of R for descriptive statistics, common solutions (with R code) of machine learning problems, complete solution of a Business Analytical problem using R code.
