Data Analysis with R

IBM

Data Analysis with R is an essential course for aspiring data analysts seeking proficiency in the R programming language. This comprehensive training covers data preparation techniques, exploratory data analysis, model development, and evaluation. Throughout the course, learners will engage in practical labs and quizzes to reinforce their understanding of the concepts.

  • Prepare data for analysis by handling missing values, formatting and normalizing data, binning, and converting categorical values into numeric variables.
  • Compare and contrast predictive models using simple linear, multiple linear, and polynomial regression methods.
  • Examine data using descriptive statistics, data grouping, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and correlation statistics.
  • Evaluate models for overfitting and underfitting conditions and tune their performance using regularization and grid search.

By completing this course, learners will gain practical experience in analyzing airline departure and arrival data to predict flight delays using the Airline Reporting Carrier On-Time Performance Dataset. Whether for professional development or personal enrichment, this course offers valuable skills for anyone interested in data analysis.
