The objective of this course is to introduce Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods for Bayesian modeling and inference, The attendees will start off by learning the the basics of Monte Carlo methods. This will be augmented by hands-on examples in Python that will be used to illustrate how these algorithms work. This will be the second course in a specialization of three courses .Python and Jupyter notebooks will be used throughout this course to illustrate and perform Bayesian modeling with PyMC3. The course website is located at https://sjster.github.io/introduction_to_computational_statistics/docs/index.html. The course notebooks can be downloaded from this website by following the instructions on page https://sjster.github.io/introduction_to_computational_statistics/docs/getting_started.html. The instructor for this course will be Dr. Srijith Rajamohan.

This is a self-paced lab that takes place in the Google Cloud console. Learn how to use BigQuery ML with soccer shot data to create and use an expected goals model.

Processing data is used in virtually every field these days. It is used for analyzing web traffic to determine personal preferences, gathering scientific data for biological analysis, analyzing weather patterns, business practices, and on. Data can take on many different forms and come from many different sources. Python is an open-source (free) programming language that is used in web programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and many scientific applications. It has libraries that can be used to parse and quickly analyze the data in whatever form it comes in, whether it be in XML, CSV, or JSON format. Data cleaning is an important aspect of processing data, particularly in the field of data science. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

In this hands-on project, we will predict customer sentiment using natural language processing techniques. In this project, we will build a machine learning model to analyze thousands of amazon echo reviews to predict customers sentiment. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)-based sentiment analysis is crucial for companies to automatically predict whether their customers are happy or not. This project is practical and directly applicable to any company with that has online presence. The algorithm could be used automatically detect customers sentiment. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

This project is aimed at beginners who have a basic familiarity with the statistical programming language R and the RStudio environment, or people with a small amount of experience who would like to review the fundamentals of generating random numerical data from distributions in R.

The book Moneyball triggered a revolution in the analysis of performance statistics in professional sports, by showing that data analytics could be used to increase team winning percentage. This course shows how to program data using Python to test the claims that lie behind the Moneyball story, and to examine the evolution of Moneyball statistics since the book was published. The learner is led through the process of calculating baseball performance statistics from publicly available datasets. The course progresses from the analysis of on base percentage and slugging percentage to more advanced measures derived using the run expectancy matrix, such as wins above replacement (WAR). By the end of this course the learner will be able to use these statistics to conduct their own team and player analyses.

Learn how to create Publication-Ready Tables in R for descriptive statistics, contingency tables, correlation tables, model summary tables and survival probabilities tables

Welcome to this project-based course on Performing Feature Analysis with Yellowbrick. In this course, we are going to use visualizations to steer machine learning workflows. The problem we will tackle is to predict whether rooms in apartments are occupied or unoccupied based on passive sensor data such as temperature, humidity, light and CO2 levels. With an emphasis on visual steering of our analysis, we will cover the following topics in our machine learning workflow: feature analysis using methods such as scatter plots, RadViz, parallel coordinates plots, feature ranking, and manifold visualization. This course runs on Coursera's hands-on project platform called Rhyme. On Rhyme, you do projects in a hands-on manner in your browser. You will get instant access to pre-configured cloud desktops containing all of the software and data you need for the project. Everything is already set up directly in your internet browser so you can just focus on learning. For this project, you’ll get instant access to a cloud desktop with Python, Jupyter, Yellowbrick, and scikit-learn pre-installed. Notes: - You will be able to access the cloud desktop 5 times. However, you will be able to access instructions videos as many times as you want. - This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

By the end of this project, you will implement a Java GUI to read from a user-provided file containing data. The GUI will call Python applications to plot columnar data as X and Y coordinates on a regression graph, and display statistics about the data from each of the selected columns. A graphical user interface can be a nice alternative to using the command line for running programs, as there is no need to memorize how to execute a command with arguments. A label may be added to describe what is needed for the application, for example. There are many choices for building a graphical user interface in Java. Using the Java Swing GUI package is the standard GUI toolkit for Java applications and is widely available on multiple platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux. The event handlers in Java can then call existing Python applications to analyze the data. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region.

In this course, you will learn how to create and manage data pipelines in the cloud using Azure Data Factory. This course is part of a Specialization intended for Data engineers and developers who want to demonstrate their expertise in designing and implementing data solutions that use Microsoft Azure data services. It is ideal for anyone interested in preparing for the DP-203: Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure exam (beta). This is the third course in a program of 10 courses to help prepare you to take the exam so that you can have expertise in designing and implementing data solutions that use Microsoft Azure data services. The Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure exam is an opportunity to prove knowledge expertise in integrating, transforming, and consolidating data from various structured and unstructured data systems into structures that are suitable for building analytics solutions that use Microsoft Azure data services. Each course teaches you the concepts and skills that are measured by the exam. By the end of this Specialization, you will be ready to take and sign-up for the Exam DP-203: Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure (beta).
