Certificate in “Data Treatment”
Quality statistical outputs depend largely on the quality of the data being used and analyzed. One important process required in producing quality statistical output is data treatment. Data treatment means the access, collection, use, processing, storage, retention, sharing, distribution, transmission, transfer, disclosure, security, destruction, or disposal of any business or government data. In other words, a smorgasbord of activities that cover overarching steps from preprocessing to developments with classical and modern tools like data mining, decision trees, and neuronal networks. Our Certificate in “Data Treatment” course provides learners with a broad understanding of data treatment processing steps. Learners will acquire the skill to summarize and visualaize statistics and to become familiarized with data cleaning and feature scaling methods.
