Introduction to Data Science with Python
This course is designed for students seeking an introduction to Data Science through Python. Students will learn about data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, and time series forecasting. The course will teach students how to apply data analytic methodologies, information visualization, and inferential statistical studies to get new insights into data.
Cohort 1 starts April ’22
What you will learn
Students will learn how to use the popular pandas data science library and jupyter notebooks as their working environment for data analysis, along with the effective use of functions for handling data. At the end of the course, students will be able to load the data from a file or fetch it from an online service, clean it, manipulate it, run basic inferential statistical analyses and produce comprehensive data visualizations. They will also know how to use the powerful libraries such as scikit-learn and statsmodels in order to apply machine learning techniques such as clustering, classification and regression, and to perform time series forecasting. They will learn about the use of Python data science ecosystem on several practical case studies, such as market basket analysis, portfolio optimization and online advertising on social networks.
About this specialization
Data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, and time series forecasting are some of the basic subjects covered in the Introduction to Data Science with Python course. Students who want to learn about the strong Python data science environment in order to apply data analytic methodologies, information visualization, and inferential statistical studies to get new insights into the data should take this course. The tutorial format is used to teach the course. The emphasis is on the usage of numerous practical tools and libraries in the Python programming language, rather than on computer programming. They will be introduced through a variety of case studies and practical examples from various economic disciplines.
