Programme de cours : ce que vous apprendrez dans ce cours
Introduction and Descriptive Statistics for Exploring Data
This module provides an overview of the course and a review of the main tools used in descriptive statistics to visualize information.
Producing Data and Sampling
In this module, you will look at the main concepts for sampling and designing experiments. You will learn about curious pitfalls and how to evaluate the effectiveness of such experiments.
Probability
In this module, you will learn about the definition of probability and the essential rules of probability that you will need for solving both simple and complex challenges. You will also learn about examples of how simple rules of probability are used to create solutions for real-life complex situations.
Normal Approximation and Binomial Distribution
This module covers the empirical rule and normal approximation for data, a technique that is used in many statistical procedures. You will also learn about the binomial distribution and the basics of random variables.
Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem
In this module, you will learn about the Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem. You will also learn how to differentiate between the different types of histograms present in statistical analysis.
Regression
This module covers regression, arguably the most important statistical technique based on its versatility to solve different types of statistical problems. You will learn about inference, regression, and how to do regression diagnostics.

Meilleurs avis pour INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS
The course was very interesting. A lot of concepts were touched up on, but the explanation part was a little less. I can label it as a very good introductory course to Statistics.
Very intersting and insightful course. I believe some topics, especially those that come up often, could have been clarified further through definitions rather than mere examples
A very good course. Definitely a course to take for an introduction into Statistics. Also probably going to be very useful as I'm planning on taking Machine Learning.
Statistics has been introduced with minimal math, with real world examples, making the concepts easy to grasp.
