Syllabus

In the past, in the present and much more in the future with the incessant development of globalization, making the right decisions is one of the most important factors in any environment, especially in business. To do so, it is important to have as much data as possible, so that the decision to be taken is the closest to the interests that one has. 

In view of this need, it is essential for any business to understand data processing, analysis and evaluation. For which it is necessary to have personnel trained and up-to-date in this subject. Statistical analysis and data preprocessing techniques offer a solid methodology for data refinement and preparation for further analysis.

In this sense, a Postgraduate certificate has been created to qualify the professional in the analysis of a data set from the statistical point of view in order to summarize its main characteristics. Including the study of variables, their distribution, the study of missing values, among others, with the help of statistical and visual methods. 

The next step is the preparation so that they can serve as input to a given data mining algorithm. Therefore, the techniques of data cleaning, transformation, imputation, noise reduction, balancing, feature selection, dimensionality reduction, among many others, will be studied. 

A syllabus designed by an expert faculty, for a future graduate capable of facing major challenges within a business team. Understand the needs of today's market, so it adjusts its content to the most advanced techniques and processes. Supported by the best 100% online educational methodology developed in a secure and dynamic virtual campus, which will provide competencies to solve critical situations in a creative and efficient way.
