Course Description

Tired of working with messy data? Did you know that most of a data scientist's time is spent in finding, cleaning and reorganizing data?! Well turns out you can clean your data in a smart way! In this course Dealing with Missing Data in Python, you'll do just that! You'll learn to address missing values for numerical, and categorical data as well as time-series data. You'll learn to see the patterns the missing data exhibits! While working with air quality and diabetes data, you'll also learn to analyze, impute and evaluate the effects of imputing the data.
