Course Overview

The world is full of data and it can be quite challenging to infer the knowledge based on statistical reasoning. This course aims to equip you with the skills you need to play with your data, wrangle it, and visualize it. Starting with data visualization, the course gets learners building ggplot2 graphs early on and then continues to reinforce important concepts graphically throughout the course. After moving through data wrangling and data importing, you’ll be introduced to modeling, which plays a promi...Show More
