Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give students the theoretical background of data mining algorithms and techniques and to give the student the ability to select and apply appropriate data mining techniques for different applications. This course will enable a student to learn data preprocessing, association rule mining, classification and prediction, and cluster analysis with applications.
