2. Pre-Requisites

It is recommended to have coursed the subjects on Statistics for Economics and Statistical Inference

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Today it is very common, in the world of Economics and Business, to have a great amount of data and manage computer tools for proper extraction of the statistical information they contain.
In this process, the knowledge and use of appropriate statistical techniques is fundamental to the discovery of new and meaningful relationships and behavior patterns within the data. The aim of the course is to provide students with the tools necessary for the representation, description and extraction of patterns and relationships between variables in multidimensional data, which is known in the statistical literature as "data mining".
