Introduction to Statistics (Stepik)

The course provides an introduction to statistics and data analysis. During the four week we will discus the most important methods and concepts of statistics.

This course is designed to explain the fundamental of statistics. The course contains four weeks or four modules. The first module is devoted to the main concepts of statistics and data analysis. First of all we will introduce the concepts of sample, general population, descriptive statistics and normal distribution. At the end of the first module we will discuss the idea of statistical inference, one of the most important topics of our course. If you have just started to study statistics look more closely at the first week. All the lessons of the first module are extremely important to enable you to understand the rest of the course and more complicated concepts and methods of statistics. Each module contains lessons with short theoretical video lectures mixed with practical problems.

Process Mining: Data science in Action (Coursera)

Process mining is the missing link between model-based process analysis and data-oriented analysis techniques. Through concrete data sets and easy to use software the course provides data science knowledge that can be applied directly to analyze and improve processes in a variety of domains. Data science is the profession of the future, because organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis.
