This course provides the student with an understanding of the issues involved in dealing with Big Data. It prepares the student for dealing with the storage of extremely large data sets, accessing the data, reduction of the data into manageable size and processing the results. Such Big Data can come from stored structured information, unstructured distributed information or streaming sources. Students will reduce Big Data sets, use R packages and other code to analyze the data, and produce graphics to explore and explain the Data. This course will be very small team project oriented.
