Data Science: Statistics and Machine Learning
Course Modules

This specialization delves into statistical inference, regression models, practical machine learning, developing data products, and the Capstone Project, providing a comprehensive and practical understanding of advanced data science concepts.

Statistical Inference

Understand the process of drawing conclusions about populations or scientific truths from data. Describe variability, distributions, limits, and confidence intervals, and make informed data analysis decisions. Gain proficiency in using p-values, confidence intervals, and permutation tests.

Regression Models

Explore regression analysis, least squares, and inference. Understand ANOVA and ANCOVA model cases, investigate analysis of residuals and variability, and describe novel uses of regression models such as scatterplot smoothing.

Practical Machine Learning

Learn the basic components of building and applying prediction functions. Understand concepts such as training and test sets, overfitting, and error rates. Describe machine learning methods such as regression or classification trees and explain the complete process of building prediction functions.

Developing Data Products

Develop basic applications and interactive graphics using GoogleVis, create interactive annotated maps with Leaflet, and build an R Markdown presentation that includes data visualization. Create a data product that tells a story to a mass audience.

Data Science Capstone

Create a useful data product for the public, apply exploratory data analysis skills, build an efficient and accurate prediction model, and produce a presentation deck to showcase your findings in the Capstone Project.
