Additional topics for new Advanced Analytics w/Python course¶
In Summer I, 2021 (May-June), I started offering a new special topics course called Advanced Analytics with Python (ST: MIS 4900/6900). I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as the number of topics that I want to cover in the Practical Computing for Data Analytics course keeps growing but the number of weeks in a semester does not. The topics covered are:
predictive modeling with scikit-learn (we barely touch on this in pcda class)
advanced regression modeling (lasso, ridge, and friends)
using Excel and Python together
datetime and occupancy analysis
web scraping
interactive data viz
simulation modeling with Python
geocomputation with Python
various software engineering topics relevant to analytics work
There are some topics that everyone does and then you get to choose from the others based on your interests.
