(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) The module introduces the basic concepts underlying the communication between nodes connected to the Internet.
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) This module introduces students to advanced topics in the areas of data communications and cryptography. A detail study is made of the TCP protocol in terms of multiplexing, flow and congestion control to understand the effects congestion in a large distributed network such as the Internet.
(Semester 2, 5 credits) An introduction to basic statistical concepts. Students will learn how to explain basic statistical theory, apply the techniques to data and describe and interpret the results of their analyses in a detailed fashion. R studio will be used to analyse data.
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) This module continues directly from Algorithms and Data Structures I and addresses topics including recursion, divide-and-conquer, graph traversal and dynamic programming.
(Semester 1 & 2, 10 ECTS) The objective of this course is to introduce students to Strategic Information Systems in the workplace and society.
(Semester 1 & 2, 10 ECTS) The aim of the course is to introduce the students to a set of techniques including classification and regression trees, and ensemble methods.
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) Classical multivariate techniques of principal component analysis, clustering, discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbours, and logistic regression are investigated.
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) Introduction to Forecasting; ARIMA models, data transformations, seasonality, exponential smoothing and Holt Winters algorithms, performance measures. Use of transformations and differences.
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) The aim of the module is to introduce students to the crucial role that Information Systems play in all aspects of society and the workplace as these domains undergo trans-formative change.
