This module aims at providing the student with an opportunity to apply a set of data science methods – a combination of techniques covered in the previous modules as well as other relevant analytical approaches – to a well defined problem.
The project departs from a real-life empirical problem and uses a suitable combination of methods and frameworks covered throughout the semester. If possible, the analysis is based on real data provided by a collaborating institution, possibly combined with other sources.
After completion of the module, students are able to define an appropriate problem formulation within social data science, identify a sophisticated data collection and analysis strategy, carry out the analysis and present their results using state-of-the-art data science approaches, as well as critically self-evaluate their findings. They can select the most suitable among the wide range of methods presented in previous modules autonomously apply it to their specific problem.
