Syllabus

Introduction to Data Analysis
This week, you’ll learn the impact of data analysis and its elements on business. Also, the diferences of variables, measurement scales and types of data analysis.

Organizing and Visualizing Data
This week, you’ll learn how to tell something through data. Managing data in graphs and tables, and the principals pitfalls about data visualization.

Descriptive measures: univariate and bivariate
This week, you’ll learn how to deal with data and how to describe data in terms of some parameters: the differences between dispersion and central tendcy measures.

Statistical Inference
In this week you will see some probability principles which are linked with datasets and data visualization. Also, statistical principles which are applied in data analysis.

Regression Analysis
In this week you will see topics in linear regressions. Regression analysis is used to investigate the relationship between two or more variables. Often used in predicting some characteristic using one or more independent variables .

Regression Modeling in Practice (Coursera)

Statistics & Data Analysis

This course focuses on one of the most important tools in your data analysis arsenal: regression analysis. Using either SAS or Python, you will begin with linear regression and then learn how to adapt when two variables do not present a clear linear relationship. You will examine multiple predictors of your outcome and be able to identify confounding variables, which can tell a more compelling story about your results. You will learn the assumptions underlying regression analysis, how to interpret regression coefficients, and how to use regression diagnostic plots and other tools to evaluate the quality of your regression model. Throughout the course, you will share with others the regression models you have developed and the stories they tell you.

Leading Innovation in Arts and Culture (Coursera)

Management & Leadership

Developed by David Owens at Vanderbilt University and customized for the cultural sector with National Arts Strategies, this course will help arts and culture leaders create an environment where new ideas are constantly created, shared, evaluated and the best ones are successfully put to work. One of the toughest challenges for any leader is getting traction for new ideas. Winning support can be a struggle. As a result, powerful new ideas often get stuck. This is especially true in the cultural sector. People involved in arts and culture often have little time and even less money for experimentation and risks. This course will help those in the performing arts, museums, zoos, libraries and other cultural organizations build environments where new management and program ideas flourish.
