Data Warehousing and Mining

This document outlines a course on Data Warehousing and Mining. The 4 credit course aims to help students understand data warehouse fundamentals, design dimensional data models, apply OLAP operations, and use data mining algorithms like classification, clustering and association rule mining. The 6 module course covers topics such as ETL processes, dimensional modeling, data exploration, classification, clustering, frequent pattern mining and spatial/web mining. Students will be assessed through two in-semester tests and a final exam consisting of short questions from each module.
