Throughout the course, we completed five projects using tools such as Tableau, Simile, Excel, and IBM SPSS Modeler. Below are some of the projects I enjoyed.

Project 2: Tableau

Tableau was my favorite software we used during this course. I use Tableau daily in my professional career so it was fun to use the platform in ways that I had never done before.

Project 3: Excel Solver

Excel Solver allows users to forecast data by entering in your variables and constraints.

Project 5: IBM SPSS Modeler

SPSS Modeler from IBM offers statistical analysis for large data. In our class we analyzed the data in association analysis, cluster analysis, and classification analysis.
