Probability

Learn the mathematical foundations essential for financial engineering and quantitative finance: linear algebra, optimization, probability, stochastic processes, statistics, and applied computational techniques in R. Modern finance is the science of decision making in an uncertain world, and its language is mathematics. As part of the MicroMasters® Program in Finance, [...]

This course is best suited for individuals who have a technical background in mathematics/statistics/computer science/engineering pursuing a career change to jobs or industries that are data-driven such as finance, retain, tech, healthcare, government and many more. The opportunity is endless.

Once we have generated data, we need to answer the research question by performing an appropriate statistical analysis. Engineers and business professionals need to know which test or tests to use. Through this class, you will be able to perform one sample tests for comparison to historical data. You [...]

Mathematics for Machine Learning and Data science is a foundational online program created in by DeepLearning.AI and taught by Luis Serrano. This beginner-friendly program is where you’ll master the fundamental mathematics toolkit of machine learning.

This is the fourth of seven courses in the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate. In this course, you’ll discover how data professionals use statistics to analyze data and gain important insights. You'll explore key concepts such as descriptive and inferential statistics, probability, sampling, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. You'll [...]

As leaders in your chosen field, you need to not only know how to ask the right questions but also answer them using data-based methods. Through this class, you will be able to get to the bottom of what you really want to know, describe the associated data related [...]

In this course, you will discover models and approaches that are designed to deal with challenges raised by the empirical econometric modelling and particular types of data.

In this course, you will learn to analyze data in terms of process stability and statistical control and why having a stable process is imperative prior to perform statistical hypothesis testing. You will create statistical process control charts for both continuous and discrete data using R software. You will [...]

Understand the foundations of probability and its relationship to statistics and data science. We’ll learn what it means to calculate a probability, independent and dependent outcomes, and conditional events. We’ll study discrete and continuous random variables and see how this fits with data collection. We’ll end [...]

This course is primarily aimed at third- and fourth-year undergraduate students or graduate students interested in learning simulation techniques to solve business problems. The course will introduce you to take everyday and complex business problems that have no one correct answer due to uncertainties that exist in business environments. [...]
