About the Course

This course focuses on essential data analysis using Excel. Learn to design and implement realistic predictive models to reduce uncertainty for informed business decisions. In a hands-on project, you'll act as a business data analyst, building models to assess credit card applications, minimize default risk and maximize bank profits. You'll master key uncertainty measures like classification error rates, entropy of information, and confidence intervals for linear regression. Assignments use data provided within the course and basic Excel functions, ensuring fluency for future business applications. No prior knowledge of advanced Excel features (Visual Basic, Pivot Tables) is required. The Excel and data analysis skills you will learn will enable you to apply business data analysis methods based on binary classification, information theory and entropy measures, and linear regression, and prepare you for roles such as a business data analyst....

Quite comprehensive on the usage of concepts taught in the course. However, bit of diversion seems to come in assignments and quizzes. Overall, very challenging and fulfilling.

The concept is well explained, but the explanation about how to apply the concept to the case study is confusing, even though I know the basic knowledge about statistics.

Course is good for those who are looking to get skills in business analysis through excel. The final project does not have a proper reviewer or is not evaluated properly.

I really think the course should provide an example for the final project after submission because it was so confusing and none of my reviews has a good model. Thanks.

Very interactive and simple to learn course.

the video lectures are very clear to understand and worksheets are helpful to gain a better understanding of the topic.

Loved the course. Concepts have been explained in detail with interesting examples. Please try and include a more detailed explanation of linear regression.

So far i have found it useful. Most of the introduction elements are elementary but it gives you a chance to build up your knowledge and apply it as you go.

Very Good. At times too complicated questions for the explanations provided. Requires extra material outside the classroom not suggested and not vetted.

I feel this is way too hard for people who are not good at math, or haven't studies math for a long time. Took me longer time to figure all questions out.

I missed some more content in certain areas of the course (i.e. histograms). Apart from that, great course and great explanations by Daniel Egger!

This course is very good! The inconvenient is the lack of exercices, however, the explanation are clear and relevant; we go to the basics.

The course overall is fantastic but I feel that they should teach more through the excel spreadsheets than by using MS paint application.

Very good course. It requires concentration, time and dedication but it is really satisfying after you learn and apply all the content.

Good for learning statistical analysis using real examples (bank credit card application) and hands on the data in the final project!

Good course but quite difficult to follow along with all the detail. The templates given for the calculations were excellent!

Really good course, I think the most value is at the end when you are able to apply the concept learned in the final assignment

Sometimes it was too complicated. At some moment it seemed to be too deep in statistics. But anyway very good to participate.

It will be better adding examples related with engineering cases (this is for technical people in any branch of engineering).

Gets too complex at times. Otherwise a solid data analysis course with quite a bit of focus on the statistics part as well.

nice course but little bit too hard on statistic and mathematics, more on excel will be the best!

thanks for this course

It would be better if there has more explanation for the tests at the end, since the test neared the end is very hard.

The content is interesting and useful, however, the quizzes and tests are not always aligned with the course level.
