DAT 565 Wk 1 – Introduction and Understanding of Data Analysis and Analytics

The individual assignments in this course will build into a final report and presentation for a target organization.

The purpose of this assignment is to introduce the student to basic concepts in Data Analysis and Data Analytics (Data Science). Students will analyze data to make business decisions.

When exploring organizations for use in the Week 1 assignment, consider the use of one of the organizations in the Week 5 and 6 assignments. Keep in mind the availability of data that can be loaded into SAS® Visual Analytics for data analysis (i.e. choose a company that has data available). You may also consider an organization or market where sample data already exists within the SAS® Visual Analytics program. Review the Getting Started in SAS® Studio training video and you will see examples of available data.
