Discontinued(Sept 2025)- Foundation of Data Science at IIM Bangalore Course details
For students/practitioners interested in improving their knowledge in the fundamental concepts of Data Science
Describe the role of probability theory, optimization and linear algebra in the field of Artificial Intelligence
Define probability distributions such as binomial and normal and its applications in ML model development
Conduct hypothesis tests such as Z test and t-test and how it is used in ML Model development
Explain optimization and linear algebra concepts and their applications in ML and AI
Conduct hypothesis testing, optimization and linear algebra using Excel
This course will start with basic concepts in probability such as joint and conditional probabilities
Discuss the implementation of these concepts in ML algorithms for Market Basket Analysis and Recommender Systems
After covering basic probability concepts, we move on to random variables, discrete and continuous probability distributions, sampling, estimation and central limit theorem
ML models such as regression and logistic regression use hypothesis testing to select features
We will discuss various hypothesis tests and how they are used in feature selection.
