Data Driven Decision Making (Coursera)

Offered by University of Colorado Boulder,

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 will also be able to determine statistically significant relationships between two variables. You will be able to perform two sample tests for both independent and dependent data. Finally, you will analyze data with more than two groups using the Analysis of Variance.

Have you ever had the perfect data science experience? The data pull went perfectly. There were no merging errors or missing data. Hypotheses were clearly defined prior to analyses. Randomization was performed for the treatment of interest. The analytic plan was outlined prior to analysis and followed exactly. The conclusions were clear and actionable decisions were obvious. Has that every happened to you? Of course not. Data analysis in real life is messy. How does one manage a team facing real data analyses? In this one-week course, we contrast the ideal with what happens in real life. By contrasting the ideal, you will learn key concepts that will help you manage real life analyses.
