Program Summary
The need for knowledgeable data scientists is expanding quickly in business, academia, and government. You are equipped with the intellectual background and practical abilities you need to take on real-world data analysis difficulties thanks to the HarvardX Data Science program. In addition to teaching you R programming, data manipulation with dplyr, data visualization with ggplot2, file organization with Unix/Linux, version control with git and GitHub, and reproducible document creation with RStudio, the program also covers concepts like probability, inference, regression, and machine learning.
We pose specific questions in each session, use relevant case studies, and learn by analyzing data to find the answers. Case studies include Forming a Baseball Team (inspired by Moneyball), Movie Recommendation Systems, US Criminal Rates, The Financial Crisis of 2007–2008, and Trends in World Health and Economics.
The R software framework will be used throughout the course. R, statistical ideas, and data analysis methods will all be covered at the same time. We think that learning how to address a particular problem helps you remember R knowledge.
