Learning Objectives
The Enterprise Big Data Analyst (EBDA®) qualification demonstrates that candidates can analyze Big Data and understand key data analysis concepts and techniques. A certified Enterprise Big Data Analyst has proficiency in essential models and concepts for day-to-day data analysis. They understand theoretical differences between statistical and machine learning approaches, can explain model distinctions, and select the appropriate model for specific business problems.
Certified candidates can extract value from Big Data sets, though their autonomy may depend on experience, problem complexity, and available support.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand and explain the enterprise data analysis process and its key steps.
- Recognize different data sources (local, online, databases) and import them for analysis.
- Apply fundamental data cleaning and wrangling operations, understanding differences between techniques.
- Utilize exploratory data analysis for model building, validation, and initial visualization.
- Apply core statistical inference concepts, including hypothesis testing.
- Formulate and interpret predictive models, including simple linear regression.
- Apply machine learning models for classification (K-Nearest Neighbour, Naïve Bayes, Logistic Regression, Classification Trees).
- Apply machine learning models for clustering (Hierarchical and K-means).
- Formulate and interpret outlier detection models (Grubbs and K-NN).
- Use core data presentation techniques, including codebooks and visualizations, to communicate findings.
