LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Identify and analyze the fundamental concepts of the machine learning methods

  • Distinguish different machine learning methods for different types of data

  • Evaluate a suitable machine learning method for analyzing and solving business problems using software support

  • Analyze and compare the results of selected machine learning models

  • Choose the optimal machine learning model using appropriate tests

TARGET AUDIENCE

  • Graduate students in economics (or in social sciences, technical sciences or science related fields) who intend to round out their knowledge in the field and use it in the proces of preparing dissertations.
  • Holders of undergraduate degrees or students in the last year of ther studies in economics or the social sciences who wish to study the field of behavioural economics.
  • Researchers and professionals working in the field.

CREDITS TRANSFERS (ECTS)

This FEBT Summer school program offers participants the possibility of going through evaluation process for the purspose of requesting official credit transfers (ECTS).

  • Evaluation process

Participants who wish to acquire 3 ECTS will be evaluated based on the regular and active course attendance and taking two mid-term exams and writing a final paper assignment (the project task is individual or group work which implies selection of the suitable machine learning method for a particular problem, analysis and comparison of the results and selection of the optimal model).

CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE

Participants not interested in credit transfer will instead receive the Certificate of Attendence, stating the course completed. These students will be neither evaluated nor graded.
