About the Course

In this course, learners will be introduced to the field of statistics, including where data come from, study design, data management, and exploring and visualizing data. Learners will identify different types of data, and learn how to visualize, analyze, and interpret summaries for both univariate and multivariate data. Learners will also be introduced to the differences between probability and non-probability sampling from larger populations, the idea of how sample estimates vary, and how inferences can be made about larger populations based on probability sampling. At the end of each week, learners will apply the statistical concepts they’ve learned using Python within the course environment. During these lab-based sessions, learners will discover the different uses of Python as a tool, including the Numpy, Pandas, Statsmodels, Matplotlib, and Seaborn libraries. Tutorial videos are provided to walk learners through the creation of visualizations and data management, all within Python. This course utilizes the Jupyter Notebook environment within Coursera....

Great course to learn the basics! The supplementary material in Jupyter notebooks is extremely valuable. Really appreciate the PhD students who took the time to explain even the simplest of codes :)

Well organized material. The Discussion forum was the best one I've experienced in my Coursera education. All my questions were answered within one day. The best statistics class I've taken yet!

Good course but definitely wish the practice material was a little stronger or more challenging. I quite like the lectures and the professors and teaching staff definitely know their stuff being UMich's Stats department of course the content itself is great. The lectures are great, the solution sets they give are great but how exactly they did those solutions... well let's just say I personally wouldn't just rely on week 1s coverage of the basics to get to there. I would strongly recommend people have at least a passing understanding of Python like through the Python 3 Specialization from UMich or Py4E from UMich. AND I would say this shouldn't be the first time you use numpy, Pandas or seaborn. I would suggest going through the Numpy Tutorial on the numpy site, the Pandas tutorial on the Pandas site and follow up with Kaggle's micro courses on Pandas, seaborn and data cleaning. This course, true to its name of the stats specialization is really an application of basic descriptive statistics like for Exploratory Data Analysis done with python. Which is what I was looking for so this is exactly what I wanted. Again lectures solid and the solution to the exercise notebooks are GREAT. They don't explain in great detail besides linking documentation how they got there so knowing Pandas indexing, shallow/deep copy, the pandas stats functions, Pandas pivots like melt and stack etc. This really takes someone who knows the basics of Pandas, teaches them the very basics of stats like stuff from high school early college, and applies it to a real dataset as you would in an everyday EDA setting. And it is EXACTLY what I wanted to teach that. Just wish there was more practice on this stuff. Youtube tutorials don't go as indepth imo.
