Course Description
What is it?
Data Science for Professionals is simply the best way to gain a in-depth and practical skill set in data science. Through a combination of theory and hands-on practice, course participants will gain a solid grasp of how to manage, manipulate, and visualize data in R - the world's most popular data science language.
Who should take this course?
This course is for professionals who are tired of using spreadsheets for analysis and have a serious interest in learning how to use code to improve the quality and efficiency of their work. At the end of this course, participants will have a developed a solid foundation of the fundamentals of the R language. Participants will have also gained a perspective on the modern data science landscape and how they can use R not only to better analyze data, but also to better manage projects, create interactive presentations, and collaborate with other teams. Whether it's spreadsheets, text documents, or slides, anyone who analyzes, reports, or presents data will benefit from a knowledge of data science programming.
Who should NOT take this course?
While this course covers examples of machine learning in later lectures, this is not a machine learning or a statistics-focused course. The course does go through examples of how to use code to deploy and assess different types of models, including machine learning algorithms, but it does so from a coding perspective and not a statistics perspective. The reason is that the math behind most machine learning algorithms merits a course entirely on its own. There are many courses out there that make dubious claims of easy mastery of machine learning and deep learning algorithms - this is not one of those courses.
