About the Course

This one-week course describes the process of analyzing data and how to manage that process. We describe the iterative nature of data analysis and the role of stating a sharp question, exploratory data analysis, inference, formal statistical modeling, interpretation, and communication. In addition, we will describe how to direct analytic activities within a team and to drive the data analysis process towards coherent and useful results. This is a focused course designed to rapidly get you up to speed on the process of data analysis and how it can be managed. Our goal was to make this as convenient as possible for you without sacrificing any essential content. We've left the technical information aside so that you can focus on managing your team and moving it forward. After completing this course you will know how to…. 1.

A long course compared to others in the specialization, but a lot of great material. Very well presented, the instructors know how to present this material and make it easy to grasp and understand.

Approaches the topic from a perspective that's too academic and pedantic for working professionals. Practical, useful insights are low. The frameworks presented here just don't seem very useful and end up making data analysis seem more confusing than it really is.

Not as I expected. More readings than practices/exercises. Seems more target on traditional statistics than machine learning.

This class was not useful for me. The professor talked about the idea of data analysis without ever discussing how to actually perform data analysis.
