Syllabus

The Postgraduate certificate in Data Processing, Exploratory Analysis and Preprocessing, has been designed by TECH Global University based on the need for specialized professionals in business intelligence that can contribute to strategic decision making and the advantages of its implementation. Qualifying the student in a totally online way, in the statistical analysis, its variables, its distribution, the study of missing values, among others, detailed in the agenda of this program. It provides everything that the professional needs in a Big Data environment.

In this Postgraduate certificate you will examine with practical cases, the main techniques of analysis prior to a data mining process"

Syllabus

In the past, in the present and much more in the future with the incessant development of globalization, making the right decisions is one of the most important factors in any environment, especially in business. To do so, it is important to have as much data as possible, so that the decision to be taken is the closest to the interests that one has.

In view of this need, it is essential for any business to understand data processing, analysis and evaluation. For which it is necessary to have personnel trained and up-to-date in this subject. Statistical analysis and data preprocessing techniques offer a solid methodology for data refinement and preparation for further analysis.

In this sense, a Postgraduate certificate has been created to qualify the professional in the analysis of a data set from the statistical point of view in order to summarize its main characteristics. Including the study of variables, their distribution, the study of missing values, among others, with the help of statistical and visual methods.

The next step is the preparation so that they can serve as input to a given data mining algorithm. Therefore, the techniques of data cleaning, transformation, imputation, noise reduction, balancing, feature selection, dimensionality reduction, among many others, will be studied.

Postgraduate Certificate in Data Processing. Exploratory Analysis and Preprocessing

Data processing is the activity of cleaning, transforming and consolidating data with the aim of obtaining useful and reliable information for further analysis. Exploratory analysis and processing are two important phases of data treatment.

Exploratory data analysis involves the exploration of raw data to find patterns, trends, relationships, and anomalies. During this phase, data are visualized and summarized using descriptive statistical techniques and graphs, such as histograms, bar charts, box plots, among others. This analysis helps to understand the quality of the data, identify outliers and understand the distribution of the data. It also helps to identify potential problems in data collection or data sources.

Data processing involves transforming and cleaning the data to make it easier to analyze. During this phase, preprocessing techniques are applied to remove outliers and duplicate data, fill in missing data, and adjust the data to make it comparable. New variables can also be created from existing data to enrich the analysis. Data processing is essential to ensure that the data is consistent, accurate and precise information useful for business decisions.

In general, exploratory analysis and processing are important phases of data processing that ensure data quality for future analysis. Exploratory analysis helps to better understand the data and find patterns, while data processing helps to clean and transform the data for use in more detailed and accurate analyses. the result is a better understanding of the data and how it is used to make decisions in a business or other domains.

This Postgraduate Certificate in data processing, exploratory analysis and preprocessing prepares students to process and clean data, to explore and prepare it for analysis and display it visually and effectively. This helps businesses make better data-driven decisions and provides the student with valuable skills that they can apply in many business areas.
