HHA 507 - Data Science for Health Care: Python and R
This course introduces the student to the emerging field of data science through the presentation of basic math and statistics principles, an introduction to the computer tools and software commonly used to perform the data analytics, and a general overview of the machine learning techniques commonly applied to datasets for knowledge discovery within health care. The students will identify a dataset for a final project that will require them to perform preparation, cleaning, simple visualization, and analysis of the data with such tools as Python and R. Understanding the varied nature of data, their acquisition and preliminary analysis provides the requisite skills to succeed in further study and application of the data science field within healthcare.
