Data Visualization with ggplot2 (Part 3)

Running exciting analyses on interesting datasets is the dream of every data scientist. But first, some importing and cleaning must be done. In this series of four case studies, you'll revisit key concepts from our courses on importing and cleaning data in R.

Practice importing and cleaning data in R with this case study focused tutorial.  You will improve your R skills quickly and efficiently with this course!

Importing & Cleaning Data in R: Case Studies

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).

In this course you'll learn how to work with tree-based models in R. This course covers everything from using a single tree for regression or classification to more advanced ensemble methods. You'll learn to implement bagged trees, Random Forests, and boosted trees using the Gradient Boosting Machine, or GBM. These powerful techinques will allow you to create high performance regression and classification models for your data.

In this course, you'll learn how to use tree-based models and ensembles for regression and classification.

Tree-Based Models in R

Everything happens somewhere, and increasingly the place where all these things happen is being recorded in a database. There is some truth behind the oft-repeated statement that 80% of data have a spatial component. So what can we do with this spatial data? Spatial statistics, of course! Location is an important explanatory variable in so many things - be it a disease outbreak, an animal's choice of habitat, a traffic collision, or a vein of gold in the mountains - that we would be wise to include it whenever possible. This course will start you on your journey of spatial data analysis. You'll learn what classes of statistical problems present themselves with spatial data, and the basic techniques of how to deal with them. You'll see how to look at a mess of dots on a map and bring out meaningful insights.

Learn how to make sense of spatial data and deal with various classes of statistical problems associated with it.
