Statistics and Applied Data Analysis

A comprehensive understanding of statistics and data analysis is paramount for the fields of data science, data analytics, and machine learning. In the first course of this specialization, you will learn traditional and applied statistics (descriptive statistics, probability, and discrete and continuous probability distributions) from ground zero (i.e., beginner level). The second course is all about inferential statistics and making decisions (sampling distributions, one- and two-sample hypothesis tests, analysis of variance) and creating predictive mathematical models (linear and nonlinear regression). Throughout both of the first two courses, you will learn how to visualize data and solve various statistical problems using Microsoft Excel. In the final course of the specialization, you will use the statistical computing software R (using RStudio) for statistical hypothesis tests, data visualization, and analysis of variance (ANOVA).

The Specialization is a very thorough learning about Statistics with many examples for us to understand the principles. Some modules are hard but fun.

A really great blend of some theory but a lot of practical experience using statistics in Excel. The course leader presents the material very clearly.

Very good course (polished!), covers a lot of material. I learned a lot about stats with R, which is exactly what I was looking for.

It is a perfect introduction to statistics, especially for the learner without a background in Statistics.

One more amazing learning journey with Mr. Charlie Nuttelman. Very good approach and explanation of the fundamental of statistics. The approach is very good for someone without previous experience and the real life examples are very useful and helpful. Also the notes in the PDF are very important from understanding and reading. I would like to propose to have all the notes in one PDF if it is able from you from easier way to find the information needed rather than open each document every time. P.S. Awaiting for the part 2 and 3!
