This course gives an introduction to data science. The emphasis is on strategies for the design of experiments, considering both workflow paradigms and aspects of reproducibility and traceability of solutions. Furthermore, knowledge about the lifecycle of data, from acquisition through processing and analysis to the long-term provision and reuse, is covered. Students are also introduced to the complex legal and ethical aspects of working with data.
The following topics are covered in the lectures:
- Introduction to Data Science
- Data and the data lifecycle
- Conceptual Experiment design
- Workflow paradigms
- Data management, reproducibilty and traceability
- Experiment error analysis and statistical testing
- Advanced experiment design
In addition, two exercises will be done.
