Osaamistavoitteet
Complex network methods have become an important part of data science. They are applicable in many areas, including internet and WWW, social networks, transportation networks, biological networks, and financial networks, among others, whenever the system can be formally characterized by entities (nodes) and their interconnections (links). In fact, networks surround our daily lives, starting from the way people are connected through real and online friendships to the way airline companies connect the world via their flight routes. By using network techniques, one can better understand and predict the behavior of various complex systems. This truly interdisciplinary course introduces students to basic concepts and problems in complex networks with applications to various real-world situations. Students will be introduced to current research done in the field and at the end of the course will be able to apply their knowledge in practice. This course requires basic familiarity programming and matrix algebra. After completing the course, the student - knows key complex network definitions and measures - knows what kind of problems can be addressed using network methods - is familiar with most common network models - can do statistical network analysis - can construct networks using various network inference methods - can do a project starting with data analysis, network construction and analysis of network properties
