After successful completion of the course, students are able to discuss legal and ethical aspects of the use of data, formulate a problem for solving it using Data Science approaches, design rigorous Data Science experiments, and interpret the results of complex data analyses.
The following topics are covered in the lectures:
- Introduction to Data Science
- Data and the data lifecycle
- Conceptual Experiment design
- Workflow paradigms
- Data management, reproducibilty and traceability
- Experiment error analysis and statistical testing
- Advanced experiment design
In addtion, two exercises will be done.
