Certificate in Data Science
Methodology
This course relies on a series of lectures and practical exercises. Participants will work on practicing and writing Python code to perform data science tasks. Participants will come out of this course with hands-on experience in coding for data science, unique printed materials, and exercises and practical proofs that can be applied in their organizations and used to request customized analyses. As part of this course, participants will complete a data science project from start to finish.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Clean, reshape, reformat, and describe data.
- Visualize data for desktop presentation and interactive web display.
- Identify and remove outliers.
- Make predictions using machine learning techniques.
- “Scrape” the internet to generate data sources.
- Visualize and analyze spatial and network data.
Target Audience
This course is designed for professionals who want to use data to improve their decision-making through predictive analytics. This includes technical professionals such as database managers, system administrators, business analysts, business intelligence specialists, GIS specialists, and web developers. Recommended prior knowledge includes data analysis using Excel, as well as basics of correlation, probability, and statistics. Participants should have prior experience working with data stored in traditional relational database systems and preferably have experience with an object-oriented programming language.
