Pass mark for this module is 50% You will work on a project individually. Through your project you should demonstratecompetencein using machine learning for classification, regression or time series using R. Machine Learning: you should choose a dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository at http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets.html except those featured in Lantz (2013) as listed below1 which are disallowed. Where a student has identified a suitable dataset for machine learning from another source, they should get approval from the module leader. You should carry out and compare contrasting two methods (e.g. regression tree vs. ANN) of supervised learning or temporal forecasting in order to achieve a best possible result from the modelling. The project report should provide the reader with a clear understanding of the background and theoretical positions underscoring the analysis, a justification for the form of analysis undertaken and techniques used, and an evaluation and presentation of the results. There should be a list of references set out according to accepted academic conventions. Your report should include the following sections: a title;an abstract (and for joint projects, a summary of your contribution to the work);a introduction including an explanation of the background to the topic and review of relevant literature;a critical summary of your overall methodological approach;a description of your data sources and what the data consist of (exploratory analysis);a presentation of your ML analysis, outcomes and their evaluation or sensitivity analysis;a concluding discussion of the findings, a critical reflection/comparison of the techniques used;a list of references in Harvard style;an appendix of R scripts for key parts of your analysis. 1 Excluded data sets are:38.

Particular focus will be on mathematical, statistical and algorithmic-based decision-making models using predictive analytics and machine learning. Various cases will be examined. The software environment will be predominantly open-source R.Maintopicsof study:Models used in decision-making Mathematics and statistical foundations of decision-making Principles of algorithm-based models Use of predictive analytics and machine learning in decision-making Analysis of case studies Assessment of accuracy, propagation of uncertainty and probabilities of uncertain events Utility vs. cost benefit/effectiveness Maximisation of expected utility of modelsThis module will be able to demonstrate at least one of the following examples/ exposures(please tick one or more of the appropriate boxes, evidence will need to be provided later in thisdocument)Live,applied project☒ Company/engagementvisits ☐ Company/industrysectorendorsement/badging/sponsorship/award ☐LearningOutcomesfor themodule Please use the appropriate headings to group the Learning Outcomes. While it is expected that amodule will have LOs covering a range of knowledge and skills, it is not necessary that all fourheadings are covered in every module.

It is used, under license, by most UK Universities, including the University of East London. Work that is submitted to Turnitin generates a Turnitin Originality report, showing which parts of it have been reproduced from which sources. The system compares submissions to material that is to be found: on the world-wide web; in its database of previous submissions; and in its growing number of databases of published articles. You should not assume that a Turnitin Originality report with a low similarity index is evidence that the piece of work concerned is free from plagiarism. Our policy on the use of Turnitin recognises the educational desirability that all of our students should enjoy the opportunity to self-submit their work to Turnitin (before submitting for assessment). We also recognise that Turnitin Originality Reports will sometimes assist in the identification of plagiarised work submitted for assessment. Our policy provides that a Module Leader may decide, in accordance with the policy of the appropriate School, that all student submissions for a particular component of assessment should be submitted to Turnitin, provided that the relevant Module Guide includes a notice to that effect. Notice is hereby given that all submissions for coursework of this Module must be submitted to Turnitin. Detailed guidance on how to submit your work to Turnitin can be found on this Module’s Moodle site. If you fail to submit coursework, to Turnitin, in accordance with the guidance on the Moodle site, you will be awarded a mark of 0 for the component. If you have any questions about Turnitin, you should visit the Turnitin module in UEL Moodle or go to https://www.turnitin.com. If you have any further questions, please contact UEL Compliance Team.
