Forecasting is a fundamental business skill. Forecasts of the future are used in all areas of business, from operations and finance to marketing and entrepreneurship. Predictive analytics is about using data to forecast uncertain quantities and events.

This module introduces students to three key topics in predictive analytics: time series, regression, and ensembling, and develops students’ ability to think like a data scientist.

The module builds on ideas and tools introduced in MSIN0010 Data Analytics I and MSIN0023 Computational Thinking, including R and Tableau, statistical software used by the world’s leading data scientists.

During the module, students will work with example data sets to experience the stages of the data science process: they will visualise data, propose models that might fit the data, choose a best-fit model, use that model to make predictions, and test those predictions against new realisations.

Cases that illustrate the applications of data science to business problems will be used.

Introduction to Fundamentals of Clinical Science 1 (MBBS0017)

This is a one week Introduction and Orientation Module to year 1. 

Year 1 is arranged as a series of system-based consecutive modules each of which builds on knowledge, understanding and skills acquired in previous modules and  provides for the acquisition of further knowledge and skills in subsequent modules.

Each module is based on a physiological system and provides integrated teaching across all disciplines.  Clinical and Professional Practice modules run throughout the 6 year programme and provide teaching and learning sessions in a wide range of topics relevant to clinical and professional practice.
