This specialization is designed to teach learners beginning and intermediate concepts of statistical analysis using the Python programming language. Learners will learn where data come from, what types of data can be collected, study data design, data management, and how to effectively carry out data exploration and visualization. They will be able to utilize data for estimation and assessing theories, construct confidence intervals, interpret inferential results, and apply more advanced statistical modeling procedures. Finally, they will learn the importance of and be able to connect research questions to the statistical and data analysis methods taught to them.

What's inside

Three courses

Understanding and Visualizing Data with Python

(0 hours)
In this course, learners will be introduced to statistics, including data sources, study design, management, and visualization. Learners will identify data types and visualize, analyze, and interpret summaries for univariate and multivariate data. They will also learn about probability and non-probability sampling and how to make inferences about larger populations based on probability sampling.

Inferential Statistical Analysis with Python

(0 hours)
In this course, we will explore basic principles behind using data for estimation and assessing theories. We will analyze categorical and quantitative data, starting with one population techniques and expanding to two population comparisons. We will learn how to construct confidence intervals and use sample data to assess theories. A major focus will be on interpreting inferential results appropriately.

Fitting Statistical Models to Data with Python

(0 hours)
In this course, we will focus on fitting statistical models to data. We will emphasize connecting research questions to our data analysis methods and focus on various modeling objectives, including making inference about relationships between variables and generating predictions for future observations.

Learning objectives

  • Create and interpret data visualizations using the python programming language and associated packages & libraries
  • Apply and interpret inferential procedures when analyzing real data
  • Apply statistical modeling techniques to data (ie. linear and logistic regression, linear models, multilevel models, bayesian inference techniques)
  • Understand importance of connecting research questions to data analysis methods.
