Learning outcomes
It is expected to acquire the ability to formulate and model problems of probabilistic and deterministic decision optimization using the SAS System in the area of: independent construction of a mathematical model, selection of the appropriate method (algorithm) to solve a task, presentation and interpretation of data and results. The subject is part of the Data Mining Certificate Program, consisting of seven blocks, run in cooperation with SAS Institute Polska. Completing the course increases the competences of participants of the classes on the labor market, giving them theoretical and practical foundations in the scope of probabilistic and deterministic methods of decision optimization.

Assessment criteria
Preparing a project that solves the problem of optimizing decisions by means of selected optimization methods learned during classes. The project should include the formulation of the problem, a description of the data, the method of solving the task by means of SAS procedures, the code of the program implementing the solution, a report containing tables and result charts together with the interpretation of the results, final conclusions.
The project is carried out outside the classroom in the computer room. Presence and activity in the classroom is also taken into account when determining the final grade of the classes
