Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Programming with R
Objectives
The main course objectives are: 1. Integrate C++ with R using Rcpp: Learn to combine the power of C++ programming with the R programming language, enabling efficient and high-performance computation. 2. Master Python, numpy, and pandas: Gain proficiency in Python programming language along with essential data manipulation and analysis libraries like numpy and pandas. 3. Develop Data Visualization Skills: Acquire the ability to create visual representations of data using Python libraries such as matplotlib and seaborn. 4. Explore Machine Learning with scikit-learn: Understand the fundamentals of machine learning and apply it practically using the scikit-learn package in Python.
Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
1) Combination of C ++ with R through Rcpp. 2) Python Language, numpy and pandas libraries. Graphics in Python (matplotlib and seaborn). 3) Machine learning packages (scikit-learn).
Learning activities and methodology
Theory: Lectures will be focused on teaching concepts and language elements. Practical computer Sessions (sessions with student's own laptops): The practical classes will be developed so that, in a supervised way, students learn to solve practical cases. The practices will be carried out in groups of 2 students. There are several assignments related to topics in the course. There will be tutorials to help the understanding both of theory and practice. === TRAINING ACTIVITIES OF THE STUDY PLAN REFERRED TO MATTERS AF1 Theoretical class AF2 Practical classes AF4 Laboratory practices AF5 Tutorials AF6 Group work AF7 Individual student work AF8 Face-to-face evaluation tests TEACHING TRAINING METHODOLOGIES OF THE PLAN REFERRED TO MATTERS MD1 Lectures with material and bibliography provided.
