Objectives: Students will be enabled to understand and
implement classical models and algorithms in data warehousing and data
mining. They will learn how to analyze the data, identify the
problems, and choose the relevant models and algorithms to apply.
They will further be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of
various methods and algorithms and to analyze their behavior.
