09BI221 DATAMINING AND DATA WAREHOUSING

Credits: 4:0:0

Course Objective
This course helps the students to understand the overall architecture of a data warehouse and
techniques and methods for data gathering and data pre-processing using OLAP tools. The
different data mining models and techniques will be discussed in this course. Data mining and
data warehousing applications in bioinformatics will also be explored.

Outcome
Students would learn data mining techniques and methods in integrating and interpreting the
bioinformatics data sets and improving effectiveness, efficiency and quality for bioinformatics
data analysis.
