Unit IV

Unit I (4 weeks)

Data Manipulation using Python: Introduction to Python, IDE’s (Jupyter, Spyder), custom environment settings, Data Structure: basic data types (numeric, string, float, date timestamp), aggregate functions, conditions (if-elif-else), looping (for, while), inbuilt functions for data conversion, writing user defined functions. Concepts of packages/libraries – important packages like NumPy, scikit-learn, scipy, sympy, math, Pandas, Matplotlib, etc. importing packages using pip, reading and writing data from/to different formats: Data frame, arrays, list of list, series, sets, dictionaries, plotting, functions, list comprehensions (index comprehension). Application of machine learning algorithm for solving problem in financial markets.

Practical

The entire syllabus is based on practical exercise i.e. learning through doing in computer lab on specified SW like Python and Matlab. The exam will also have 50% weightage for practical in the lab with evaluation through external expert.

Teaching Learning Process

Class room lecture, Practical Lab Session, Problem solving, Class presentation on the assigned topic by students individually or in group, Workshop

Assessment Methods

1. Practical exam of 50% marks inclusive of internal evaluation (25%). Internal evaluation will have:
a. Attendance 5% marks
b. Two internal evaluations by the teacher with 10% marks each out of which one must be a class test and other may be another test or home assignment or presentation. Faculty may take more than two assignments and (or) tests but total will be only 20% marks.
2. End term University Exam of 50% marks

Keywords
