Overview
The need for skilled data science practitioners in industry, government & academia is growing rapidly. The HarvardX Data Science program prepares you with the required knowledge base and skills to tackle data analysis challenges. The program covers concepts on inference, probability, regression, and machine learning. It will help you to develop skill-set which includes R programming, data wrangling with dplyr, data visualization with ggplot2, file organization with Linux/Unix and reproducible document preparation with R studio.
Each course has a set of case studies, with specific questions that would enrich your learning. The case studies are on: Trends in World Health and Economics, US Crime Rates, The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, Election Forecasting, building a Baseball Team (inspired by Moneyball), and Movie Recommendation Systems.
Throughout the program, the R software environment will be used. You will learn R, statistical concepts, and data analysis techniques simultaneously. R knowledge can be better retained when you learn to solve specific problems. Furthermore, HarvardX has partnered with DataCamp for all assignments, which uses code checking technology that will permit you to get hands-on practice during the courses.
