Classification: Distinction

Modules include:

• Forecasting and Credit Risk Analysis (Distinction): Throughout this module I gained expertise in time series analysis and credit risk modeling using SAS software. These skills have equipped me to make data-driven decisions and generate insightful reports for stakeholders. I applied these skills in two projects: utilising time series techniques to model and forecast monthly retail sales of sporting goods, and building a credit risk scorecard model using multiple logistic regression and weight of evidence analysis.
• Statistical Data Analysis with R (Merit): In this module, I gained proficiency in data handling, visualization, and programming using R, as well as in probability, statistical inference, and linear regression. Utilizing these skills along with R and RStudio, I analyzed and manipulated the Historical Prices of Cryptocurrencies dataset to investigate price predictability.
• Data Mining (Distinction): Within this module, I honed my Python programming skills and demonstrated my expertise in machine learning algorithms. I transformed raw data into actionable insights using a range of powerful techniques. With Python as my tool of choice, I employed decision trees, Naive Bayes, support vector machines, and ensemble methods like random forests to uncover meaningful patterns, trends, and anomalies.
• Data Management (Merit): In this module, I mastered DBMS, data modeling, and SQL, utilizing tools like MySQL and PowerBI. With a focus on data warehousing, OLAP, business intelligence, and data mining, I gained the skills to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets.
