Introduction to R

In this course, you'll learn how to use Spark from Python! Spark is a tool for doing parallel computation with large datasets and it integrates well with Python. PySpark is the Python package that makes the magic happen. You'll use this package to work with data about flights from Portland and Seattle. You'll learn to wrangle this data and build a whole machine learning pipeline to predict whether or not flights will be delayed. Get ready to put some Spark in your Python code and dive into the world of high-performance machine learning!

Learn to implement distributed data management and machine learning in Spark using the PySpark package.

Learn to wrangle data and build a machine learning pipeline to make predictions with  PySpark Python package. Practice your skills with real-world data.

Introduction to PySpark

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

Having honed your visualization skills by learning ggplot2, it's now time to tackle larger datasets. In this course, you will learn several techniques for visualizing big data, with particular focus on the scalable visualization technique of faceting. You will learn how to put this technique into action using the Trelliscope approach as implemented in the trelliscopejs R package. Trelliscope plugs seamlessly into standard R workflows and produces interactive visualizations that allow you to visually explore your data in detail. By the end of this course, you will be able to easily create interactive exploratory displays of large datasets that will help you and your colleagues gain new insights into your data.

Accurately predicting demand for products allows a company to stay ahead of the market. By knowing what things shape demand, you can drive behaviors around your products better. This course unlocks the process of predicting product demand through the use of R. You will learn how to identify important drivers of demand, look at seasonal effects, and predict demand for a hierarchy of products from a real world example. By the end of the course you will be able to predict demand for multiple products across a region of a state in the US. Then you will roll up these predictions across many different regions of the same state to form a complete hierarchical forecasting system.

Learn how to identify important drivers of demand, look at seasonal effects, and predict demand for a hierarchy of products from a real world example. 

Forecasting Product Demand in R

As a data scientist, you will often find yourself working with non-numerical data, such as job titles, survey responses, or demographic information. R has a special way of representing them, called factors, and this course will help you master working with them using the tidyverse package forcats. We’ll also work with other tidyverse packages, including ggplot2, dplyr, stringr, and tidyr and use real world datasets, such as the fivethirtyeight flight dataset and Kaggle’s State of Data Science and ML Survey. Following this course, you’ll be able to identify and manipulate factor variables, quickly and efficiently visualize your data, and effectively communicate your results. Get ready to categorize!

Get ready to categorize! In this course,  you will work with non-numerical data, such as job titles or survey responses, using the Tidyverse landscape.

Spark is a powerful, general purpose tool for working with Big Data. Spark transparently handles the distribution of compute tasks across a cluster. This means that operations are fast, but it also allows you to focus on the analysis rather than worry about technical details. In this course you'll learn how to get data into Spark and then delve into the three fundamental Spark Machine Learning algorithms: Linear Regression, Logistic Regression/Classifiers, and creating pipelines. Along the way you'll analyse a large dataset of flight delays and spam text messages. With this background you'll be ready to harness the power of Spark and apply it on your own Machine Learning projects!
