Learning unit contents

The course is divided into 6 learning modules including one face-to-face session and e-learning activities:




  • Module 1: Linear, Ridge and Lasso regressions
  • Module 2: Principal component regression (PCR) + Partial least square regression (PLS)
  • Module 3: Logistic regression
  • Module 4: Random forest
  • Module 5: PLS - discrniminant analysis + Super vector machine (SVM)
  • Module 6: Neural network

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

After this course, the student will be able to conduct a complete exploratory data analysis from the data cleaning to the practical implementation.
The student will be also able to communicate the obtained results to stakeholders.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is composed of 6 modules as aformentionned. Each module includes:

  • one face-to-face session (2h) developping the theoritical concepts
  • one e-learning session (1h) applying in practice the exposed theoritical concepts
  • one e-learning session (3h) based on the resolution of a full data analysis dedicated to the exposed theoritical concepts

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face session (30%) + e-learning activities (70%)

Course materials and recommended or required readings

The course is given in full English.
All course supports are available on e-campus platform.
