This course establishes a framework for data analytics as a series of progressive steps starting with the data source and ending with the interpretation of results. We introduce fundamental concepts such as data analytics life cycle, data integrity, and the four types of data analytics (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive). Students who complete this course will be equipped with the skills to identify the data analytics strategy used in a given situation and where they are in the data analytics life cycle.
