Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge in linear algebra, calculus, statistics and probability theory as well as computer programming.

Intended learning outcomes

In this course, you will learn how to utilize and learn from data in order to gain insights for decisions, especially in the area of smart cities. We will examine real world examples from for example traffic management, logistics, telecommunications and crowd sensing. After completing the course, the student should be able to:

  • Identify the most common statistical methods used in data analytics
  • Explain the differences in characteristics between different type of data analytics methods and give examples of when they should be applied
  • Understand, explain and apply relevant concepts and methods in data analytics to solve practical problems
  • Use selected statistical methods for prediction, classification and decision making
  • Evaluate and choose among different methods for a specific problem instance
  • Use existing data sets to train and evaluate selected methods for real-world applications
  • Implement methods and algorithms for data analytics in a programming language

We will mainly use the statistical software Matlab to build models and work with data.

Course content

The course aims to provide knowledge in data analytics, especially for applications related to smart cities. The course will cover both supervised and unsupervised learning. The focus will be on classification and prediction, but also include clustering, anomaly detection and dimensionality reduction. Example content includes statistical inference, correlation, linear regression, logistic regression, K-nearest neighbour, support vector machines, hidden Markov models, neural networks, k-means clustering and principal component analysis.

About teaching and examination language

The teaching language is presented in the Overview tab for each course. The examination language relates to the teaching language as follows: 

  • If teaching language is Swedish, the course as a whole or in large parts, is taught in Swedish. Please note that although teaching language is Swedish, parts of the course could be given in English. Examination language is Swedish. 
  • If teaching language is Swedish/English, the course as a whole will be taught in English if students without prior knowledge of the Swedish language participate. Examination language is Swedish or English (depending on teaching language). 
  • If teaching language is English, the course as a whole is taught in English. Examination language is English. 

Other

The course is conducted in a manner where both men's and women's experience and knowledge are made visible and developed. 

The planning and implementation of a course should correspond to the course syllabus. The course evaluation should therefore be conducted with the course syllabus as a starting point.
