If course will be offered on a bi-annual basis, please indicate here: 2.c Student Requirements Students required to take this course: (by program and year, as appropriate) None Students who might elect to take the course: This is an elective for graduate students in Advanced Certificate and MS programs in Applied Statistics. Graduate students in other programs who interested in statistical data mining will also elect to take this class. In the sections that follow, please use sub-numbering as appropriate (eg. 3.1, 3.2, etc.) 3.0 Goals of the course (including rationale for the course, when appropriate): For students 3.1 To achieve a practical understanding of modern statistical data mining techniques 3.2 To develop the ability to correctly apply modern data mining techniques to a variety of real world case studies involving very massive high dimensional complex data. 3.3 To gain a hands on experience with data mining through case studies, among which examples like: Describing website visitors, Market basket analysis, Describing customer satisfaction, Predicting credit risk of small businesses, Predicting e-learning student performance, Predicting customer lifetime value and Operational risk management. 4.0 Course description (as it will appear in the RIT Catalog, including pre- and corequisites, and quarters offered). Please use the following format: Course: KGCOE-CQAS-846 Principles of Statistical Data Mining I This course covers topics such as clustering, classification and regression trees, multiple linear regression under various conditions, logistic regression, PCA and kernel PCA, model-based clustering via mixture of gaussians, spectral clustering, text mining, neural networks, support vector machines, multidimensional scaling, variable selection, model selection, k-means clustering, k-nearest neighbors classifiers, statistical tools for modern machine learning and data mining, naïve Bayes classifiers, variance reduction methods (bagging) and ensemble methods for predictive optimality.this course is designed to provide the student with a solid practical hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of modern concepts and techniques of statistical data mining, with a strong emphasis on the wide applicability of these techniques to real world problems. Throughout the course, many real world case studies are used to motivate and explain the strengths and appropriateness of each method of interest. To ease the exploration of the techniques, SAS Enterprise Miner will be our main computing software. We will occasionally mention other notable software for data mining such as Rattle in the R environment. Topics throughout this course include among other things: Distance Measures in Data Mining, Hierarchical clustering, Classification and Regression trees, Multiple Linear Regression under various conditions, Logistic regression for Pattern Recognition, Principal Components analysis, Factor Analysis, Model-based Clustering via Mixture of 2

3 Gaussians, Spectral Clustering Techniques, Text Mining, Neural Networks for classification and regression, Support Vector Machines for Classification and Regression, Multidimensional Scaling, Variable Selection, Model Selection, k-means clustering, k- Nearest Neighbors classifiers, Statistical tools for modern machine learning and data mining, Bayes Classifiers, Fisher Linear Discriminant Analysis and Quadratic discrimination, Variance Reduction Methods (Bagging) and Ensemble Methods for Predictive Optimality (Boosting and Random Forests) Prerequisite(s): one course in basic statistics.

5 7.0 Intended course learning outcomes and associated assessment methods of those outcomes (please include as many Course Learning Outcomes as appropriate, one outcome and assessment method per row). Course Objectives Level 2: Comprehension: 2.1.Understands the central role of model uncertainty in data mining, and maintains a keen awareness of the difference between accurate model identification and optimal prediction 2.2.Appreciates and takes into account the everpresent bias/variance dilemma in model selection and model building, and strives to find solutions that achieve bias/variance trade-off 2.3.Knows when and how to combine unsupervised learning techniques (e.g.: PCA for feature extraction) with supervised learning techniques (e.g. Neural Networks) to achieve optimality 2.4.Recognizes when and how to use Ensemble methods rather than select a single model, and also knows when to use variance reduction techniques like Bagging! 2.5.Understands the profound meaning of the No Free Lunch theorem, and refrains from relying solely on one single method of data mining, and indeed always comparing various methods before making recommendations Level 3: Application: 3.1.Identifies an interesting real world engineering problem during the course of study and formulates its statistically 3.2.Recognizes for each real world case study which classes of data mining methods are more appropriate 3.3.Uses statistical software like SAS Enterprise Miner to perform a thorough data mining analysis of real world problems Level 4: Analysis: 4.1.Determines/decides which statistical model(s) appear to be most appropriate for the task at hand in light of the graphs and descriptive statistics obtained for exploratory data analysis Assessment Method Homework Exams Projects 5

6 4.2.Fits the chosen plausible model(s) using a statistical software package like SAS Enterprise Miner, then extracts and interprets the estimates of the parameters 4.3.Performs additional statistical hypothesis tests wherever needed 4.4.Checks all the assumptions underlying each method/technique used 4.5.Interprets the statistical estimation and prediction results produced by the software package Level 5: Synthesis: 5.1.Selects the best model according to some of the usual model selection criteria 5.2.Provides any needed/required formal prediction or estimation. 5.3.Uses an ensemble (aggregation) of methods wherever the need arises 5.4.Draws conclusions and interpretations about the original engineering task based on sound formal analysis like confidence intervals and results of hypothesis testing. Level 6: Evaluation: 6.1.Evaluates several potential statistical models and decides on the most appropriate one for a given purpose. 6.2.Provides any needed/required formal prediction or estimation 6.3.Makes recommendations in clear and non technical language based a thorough assessment of the statistical findings 6
