Basic Data Analysis Techniques

This course is where the “rubber hits the road” and where learners start to work with data in a hands-on fashion. Its focus is on putting into practice, in a preliminary and basic way, many of the topics used in data analysis: data visualization, data exploration, data wrangling, and data modeling. This is done via basic analyses of data: summaries of variables, simple calculations related to these summaries, exploring subsets of the data, and gaining some basic insights into the information contained in datasets.
