About the Course

This course introduces you to sampling and exploring data, as well as basic probability theory and Bayes' rule. You will examine various types of sampling methods, and discuss how such methods can impact the scope of inference. A variety of exploratory data analysis techniques will be covered, including numeric summary statistics and basic data visualization. You will be guided through installing and using R and RStudio (free statistical software), and will use this software for lab exercises and a final project. The concepts and techniques in this course will serve as building blocks for the inference and modeling courses in the Specialization....

The lectures were very clear and concise and the examples were very relevant. Some of the R instructions left a little something to be desired, but nothing a little time and google couldn't solve.

Really good content and the teacher is one of the best in Coursera. This is for many people a difficult subject that is made easy to digest. Looking forward to more courses from the same Teacher

The lab instructions are terrible and the code used for this course is dependent on software libraries that are out of date.

Although the course is alright but the focus is not on R. Thus, the course is not suitable for people who want to learn R.

I have to drop this specialization because the so called 'nycflights' data set doesn't exist. What a waste of time

Speed is very fast for a basic level student. The data explanation and correlation demonstrated is not clear.
