Applied Data Science with R

IBM

This Specialization is designed for individuals aiming to enter the data science field. Throughout the five comprehensive courses, participants gain proficiency in using the R programming language to integrate diverse data sources and derive actionable insights. The curriculum covers fundamental R programming tasks, database creation and querying using SQL and R, data analysis techniques, and data visualization methods.

  • Develop basic R programming skills and utilize tools like R Studio and Jupyter for data manipulation and working with APIs.
  • Create and query relational databases using SQL and R, and explore data analysis processes including statistical analysis and predictive modeling.
  • Communicate data findings through visualization techniques and libraries such as ggplot, leaflet, and R Shiny.

By the end of the Specialization, learners will have the expertise to perform essential R programming tasks, handle data analysis processes, and effectively communicate data insights through visualization methods.

Course Modules

The Applied Data Science with R course comprises five modules covering R programming, SQL for data science, data analysis, data visualization, and a capstone project.

Introduction to R Programming for Data Science

Introduction to R Programming for Data Science introduces learners to the manipulation of primitive data types in R. Participants will also learn to control program flow, construct and manipulate R data structures, and perform tasks such as reading, writing, and saving data files as well as web scraping using R.

SQL for Data Science with R

SQL for Data Science with R focuses on creating and accessing a database instance on the cloud and executing basic SQL statements. Participants will learn to analyze data from Jupyter using R and SQL by combining both skill sets to query real-world datasets.

Data Analysis with R

Data Analysis with R covers data preparation, handling missing values, formatting, and normalizing data. Learners will compare and contrast predictive models, examine data using descriptive statistics, and evaluate model performance using regularization and grid search.

Data Visualization with R

Data Visualization with R introduces learners to creating various charts and plots using R and related packages. Participants will also design customized charts, create maps using the Leaflet package, and build interactive dashboards using the Shiny package for R.

Data Science with R - Capstone Project

In the Data Science with R - Capstone Project module, learners will write a web scraping program to extract data from an HTML file, prepare data for modeling, interpret data using exploratory data analysis techniques, and build a Shiny app containing a Leaflet map and an interactive dashboard.
