Course Code: MAV560
Synopsis
MAV560 Applied Business Analytics in Production comprises an in-depth understanding of designing and deploying business analytics systems end-to-end. The course covers crucial aspects such as project scoping, data needs, modelling strategies, and deployment patterns and technologies. Students will learn strategies to address common production challenges, including establishing a model baseline, handling concept drift, and performing error analysis. A comprehensive framework will be adopted for developing, deploying, and continuously improving a productionised analytics application. While understanding analytics concepts is essential, building an effective career in business analytics requires experience in preparing projects for deployment. This course combines foundational analytics concepts with the skills and best practices of modern software development, enabling students to successfully deploy and maintain analytics systems in real-world environments. MAV560生产中的应用商业分析课程深入讲解了如何从头到尾设计和部署业务分析系统。课程涵盖关键方面,如项目范围界定、数据需求、建模策略以及部署模式和技术。学生将学习应对常见生产挑战的策略,包括建立模型基准、处理概念漂移和执行错误分析。课程采用综合框架,用于开发、部署和持续改进生产化的分析应用。尽管理解分析概念很重要,但在业务分析领域建立有效的职业生涯需要具备项目部署的实践经验。该课程将基础分析概念与现代软件开发的技能和最佳实践相结合,使学生能够在实际环境中成功部署和维护分析系统。
