Systems The goal of the term project is to develop a useful and viable prediction or classification model based on data. You will need to develop a research question‚ which you refine further based on the availability of data. You may need to merge multiple data sets together. Process: • Each team of 2 or 3 students will work on a business problem involving data analysis with real data. The project will focus on classification and prediction methods we covered during the semester. • A presentation
