Data science is a multidisciplinary skill that requires proficiency in hardware and software, domain expertise and communication skills, and statistics and modelling. While individually, all of them are scalable fields, there is a growing need for people who master all three. A person who is proficient in even one field can easily excel in the rest.
In this course, you will achieve this by following a case study to define its business objective, establish the required data and use R, the programming language, and derive insights from the data. You will be required to present your findings to a business audience for an immersive learning experience.
This course will equip you with basic statistical concepts through step-by-step guidance on conducting analyses to master and solve various business problems.
