The minor specialization acquaints the students on subjects like Data Mining, Data Visualization, Data Management et al.
Data Mining deals with the inter-combination of statistics and computer science with an aim to extract patterns of information from given raw data (unprocessed data) and transform the data to provide meaningful information for business use. On completion of this program, students will be able to use the different data mining techniques such as association and clustering and use the different data mining applications such as market basket analysis and customer relationship management (CRM).
For Data Visualization, one can use data maps, heat maps, graphs, charts, for the graphical representation of data. Using such tools for data visualization, one can detect missing data or outliers and discover the hidden patterns in the data. In the current era of Big Data, data visualization is the most crucial tool to derive the meaningful insights from the big data.
Data Management refers to the process of acquiring, validating, storing, protecting, and processing the required data. It ensures that the data reliability and timeliness of its availability to users is well-sustained. The security of the data in large organizations is a must and is an important part of data management, protecting the concerned entities from data losses and data thefts.
