Course Description

Cleaning data is crucial for business problems. When data quality suffers, analytics become unreliable, machine learning models make poor predictions, and business decisions go awry.This course equips you with Java tools to tackle data quality head-on. You'll learn statistical methods to spot outliers and handle missing values, master data transformations from standardizing text to managing dates across time zones, and implement range checks using regular expressions and validation annotations.Working with Tablesaw, you'll clean real-world tabular data and perform transformations that prepare data for analysis. You'll finish ready to ensure data quality at every step of your applications.

Prerequisites

Data Types and Exceptions in Java
1

Assessing Data Quality

Learn essential techniques for assessing data quality in Java applications. Discover how to use descriptive statistics to identify outliers, detect and handle missing values appropriately, and validate data types to prevent errors. Master key tools like DescriptiveStatistics for numerical analysis, Optional for null handling, and DateTimeFormatter for date validation.
