Course Description |
The course will cover concepts and skills to tackle real-world data science problems. We will follow the data science life cycle to discuss data collection, data cleaning, data visualization, modeling, and data informed decision making. We will introduce concepts in probability, statistical inference, and machine learning. By working on real datasets, you will develop skills in programing and scientific computation (R and Python). In the course, you will learn how to build data-driven models from scratch to inform decision making. |
