M.Sc. Tech (Statistics and Data Science)
Introduction to the Programme:
Data science is one of the fast growing field in industry as well as academia. The M.Sc. (Tech.) in Statistics and Data Science programme aims to produce postgraduates with specialized in data science. The present program will provide opportunity to develop practical skill sets. The student will also develop an in-depth understanding related to core concepts of Statistics, computer science and Data Science with their applications. The programme also emphasis of rigorous statistical theory with wider hands-on practical experience of applying statistical models to data along with understanding of statistical inferences, time series analysis and their application in data analysis using statistical software R.
With increasing understanding the key concepts of machine learning and artificial intelligence and their use in this modern era with application of data science in the field of cyber security and medical science this programme provide a blending learning in interdisciplinary course. The programme also enhance the ability to formulate suitable statistical models for new problems, fit these models to real data and correctly interpret the results.
