One of the foundational aspects of statistical analysis is inference, or the process of drawing conclusions about a larger population from a sample of data. Although counter intuitive, the standard practice is to attempt to disprove a research claim that is not of interest. For example, to show that one medical treatment is better than another, we can assume that the two treatments lead to equal survival rates only to then be disproved by the data. Additionally, we introduce the idea of a p-value, or the degree of disagreement between the data and the hypothesis. We also dive into confidence intervals, which measure the magnitude of the effect of interest (e.g. how much better one treatment is than another).

Importing & Cleaning Data in R: Case Studies

In this course, you will learn the foundations of A/B testing, including hypothesis testing, experimental design, and confounding variables. You will also be exposed to a couple more advanced topics, sequential analysis and multivariate testing. The first dataset will be a generated example of a cat adoption website. You will investigate if changing the homepage image affects conversion rates (the percentage of people who click a specific button). For the remainder of the course you will use another generated dataset of a hypothetical data visualization website.

Learn A/B testing: including hypothesis testing, experimental design, and confounding variables.

A/B Testing in R

Experimental design is a crucial part of data analysis in any field, whether you work in business, health or tech. If you want to use data to answer a question, you need to design an experiment! In this course you will learn about basic experimental design, including block and factorial designs, and commonly used statistical tests, such as the t-tests and ANOVAs. You will use built-in R data and real world datasets including the CDC NHANES survey, SAT Scores from NY Public Schools, and Lending Club Loan Data. Following the course, you will be able to design and analyze your own experiments!

In Quantitative Risk Management (QRM), you will build models to understand the risks of financial portfolios. This is a vital task across the banking, insurance and asset management industries. The first step in the model building process is to collect data on the underlying risk factors that affect portfolio value and analyze their behavior. In this course, you will learn how to work with risk-factor return series, study the empirical properties or so-called "stylized facts" of these data - including their typical non-normality and volatility, and make estimates of value-at-risk for a portfolio.

Work with risk-factor return series, study their empirical properties, and make estimates of value-at-risk.

In this course, you'll learn how to use statistical techniques to make inferences and estimations using numerical data. This course uses two approaches to these common tasks. The first makes use of bootstrapping and permutation to create resample based tests and confidence intervals. The second uses theoretical results and the t-distribution to achieve the same result. You'll learn how (and when) to perform a t-test, create a confidence interval, and do an ANOVA!

In this course you'll learn techniques for performing statistical inference on numerical data.

Learn techniques such as bootstrapping for estimating a parameter and introducing the t-distribution, to perform statistical inferences on numerical data.

Inference for Numerical Data in R

Statistical Modeling in R is a multi-part course designed to get you up to speed with the most important and powerful methodologies in statistics. In this intermediate course 2, we'll take a look at effect size and interaction, the concepts of total and partial change, sampling variability and mathematical transforms, and the implications of something called collinearity. This course has been written from scratch, specifically for DataCamp users. As you'll see, by using computing and concepts from machine learning, we'll be able to leapfrog many of the marginal and esoteric topics encountered in traditional 'regression' courses.

In this follow-up course, you will expand your stat modeling skills from the introduction and dive into more advanced concepts.

Learn methodologies in statistics, including total and partial change, sampling variability and mathematical transforms, and implications of collinearity.

Intermediate Statistical Modeling in R

Categorical data is all around us. It's in the latest opinion polling numbers, in the data that lead to new breakthroughs in genomics, and in the troves of data that internet companies collect to sell products to you. In this course you'll learn techniques for parsing the signal from the noise; tools for identifying when structure in this data represents interesting phenomena and when it is just random noise.

In this course you'll learn how to leverage statistical techniques for working with categorical data.
