This module gives learners the insight to apply many prediction models and grasps linear regression. Create predictions based on a group of input variables using regression analysis methods. Learners investigate the way to model an extensive range of real-world interactions using complicated statistical methodologies, such as generalised linear and additive models. This module inculcates intermediate and advanced statistical modelling methodologies. It is specifically created for learners to develop proficiency in linear regression analysis, experimental design, and extended linear and additive models. Based on these skills, interpreting data, discovering links between variables, and generating predictions are made simpler via intuitive representations.

The purpose of this module is to discuss and explain the role of Data science and its practices in an organisation and their influence on the overall performance and competence of the organisation. This module is designed to develop an understanding of the contemporary practices and competence to develop a research or design question, illustrate how it links to current knowledge and carry out the study in a systematic manner. Learners will be encouraged to pick a research/development project that displays their past learning in the data science domain. It is meant to acquire an understanding of Data Science and the paradigm shift in the approaches and methods related to various functions of DS like data visualisation, probability, inference and modelling, data mining, data organisation, regression, and machine learning to name a few. It also endeavours to highlight the role and significance of data analytics and data modelling during the planning, decision-making, and implementation of change in the organisation. Upon successfully completing the module, the participants will have comprehensive knowledge about the broader data analysis context and a data product to demonstrate their data science expertise to potential employers or educational programs.
