Course Goal / Objective

The aim of this course is to teach the data preprocessing methods required to make raw data suitable for analysis. It is intended for students to gain the ability to identify missing, erroneous, inconsistent, and outlier values in datasets and to handle them using appropriate techniques. Additionally, the course aims to enable them to make data suitable for statistical analysis and modeling by applying processes such as data transformation, scaling, encoding, and data reduction.

Course Content

Fundamental concepts of data preprocessing, data types and data structures, missing data analysis, outlier analysis, transformation, data cleaning, data reduction, data merging, noise reduction, ethics and data privacy in data preprocessing

Course Precondition

There are no prerequisites for this course.
