Introduction to Python

Many phenomena in our day-to-day lives, such as the movement of stock prices, are measured in intervals over a period of time. Time series analysis methods are extremely useful for analyzing these special data types. In this course, you will be introduced to some core time series analysis concepts and techniques.

Learn the core techniques necessary to extract meaningful insights from time series data.

Learn the core techniques necessary to extract meaningful insights from time series data, including WN and RW models, correlation analysis, and more. 

Time Series Analysis in R

After all of the hard work of acquiring data and getting them into a form you can work with, you ultimately want to make clear, succinct conclusions from them. This crucial last step of a data analysis pipeline hinges on the principles of statistical inference. In this course, you will start building the foundation you need to think statistically, speak the language of your data, and understand what your data is telling you. The foundations of statistical thinking took decades to build, but can be grasped much faster today with the help of computers. With the power of Python-based tools, you will rapidly get up-to-speed and begin thinking statistically by the end of this course.

Build the foundation you need to think statistically and to speak the language of your data.

Statistical Thinking in Python (Part 1)

After completing Statistical Thinking in Python (Part 1), you have the probabilistic mindset and foundational hacker stats skills to dive into data sets and extract useful information from them. In this course, you will do just that, expanding and honing your hacker stats toolbox to perform the two key tasks in statistical inference, parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. You will work with real data sets as you learn, culminating with analysis of measurements of the beaks of the Darwin's famous finches. You will emerge from this course with new knowledge and lots of practice under your belt, ready to attack your own inference problems out in the world.

Learn to perform the two key tasks in statistical inference: parameter estimation and hypothesis testing.

Statistical Thinking in Python (Part 2)

Introduction Statistical Modeling in R is a multi-part course designed to get you up to speed with the most important and powerful methodologies in statistical modeling in R.In In this introduction, we'll take a look at what statistical modeling is and what it's used for, R tools for model building, using models for prediction (and using prediction to test models), and how to account for the combined influences of multiple variables.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. <a href="https://www.datacamp.com/courses/statistical-modeling-in-r-part-2">The intermediate course</a> will get you up to speed with the most important and powerful methodologies in statistics.

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.

Intermediate Statistical Modeling in R

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).

Learn how to draw conclusions about a population from a sample of data via a process known as statistical inference.

Foundations of Inference

When your dataset is represented as a table or a database, it's difficult to observe much about it beyond its size and the types of variables it contains. In this course, you'll learn how to use graphical and numerical techniques to begin uncovering the structure of your data. Which variables suggest interesting relationships? Which observations are unusual? By the end of the course, you'll be able to answer these questions and more, while generating graphics that are both insightful and beautiful.

Exploratory Data Analysis in R

Scientists seek to answer questions using rigorous methods and careful observations. These observations—collected from the likes of field notes, surveys, and experiments—form the backbone of a statistical investigation and are called data. Statistics is the study of how best to collect, analyze, and draw conclusions from data. It is helpful to put statistics in the context of a general process of investigation: 1) identify a question or problem; 2) collect relevant data on the topic; 3) analyze the data; and 4) form a conclusion. In this course, you'll focus on the first two steps of the process.

Learn the language of data, study types,  sampling strategies, and experimental design.

Learn how you can identify a question, collect relevant data on the topic, analyze the data and then form a solid conclusion when working with Data in R.

Introduction to Data in R

In this course, you will become an expert in fitting ARIMA models to time series data using R.  First, you will explore the nature of time series data using the tools in the R stats package.  Next, you learn how to fit various ARMA models to simulated data (where you will know the correct model) using the R package astsa.  Once you have mastered the basics, you will learn how to fit integrated ARMA models, or ARIMA models to various real data sets. You will learn how to check the validity of an ARIMA model and you will learn how to forecast time series data.  Finally, you will learn how to fit ARIMA models to seasonal data, including forecasting using the astsa package.
