FTA 3200 - Data Visualizations & Analytics

Description

Data visualization is an essential skill that we use to share information with others. FinTech companies all use data visualization techniques to learn facts, identify problems, and communicate information. The course is built with an emphasis on the application where students learn skills, such as data visualization techniques, via hands-on experience. Students will learn data manipulation techniques to organize the data better to answer specific questions, use basic visual objects to describe the data, create visual objects to analyze existing relationships, and link visual objects that allow a deeper understanding of these relationships. Students will also create dynamic visual objects, use automated analysis, and generate forecasts.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to load their data tables into SAS Visual Analytics and manipulate the data to create various variables (measures, categories, hierarchies, and geographies).
• Students will be able to use SAS Visual Analytics to create visual objects to learn about the data and to create information from the data.
