Data Science is a rapidly growing field that uses statistical techniques to gain useful insights from data. This course will cover data visualization for data exploration and modeling and prediction techniques that include classification, shrinkage methods, tree-based methods, and clustering. We will use the techniques learned to look at economic data sets and see what conclusions we can make.
Prereq: ECON-220.
