About the Course

The Business Statistics and Analysis Capstone is an opportunity to apply various skills developed across the four courses in the specialization to a real life data. The Capstone, in collaboration with an industry partner uses publicly available ‘Housing Data’ to pose various questions typically a client would pose to a data analyst. Your job is to do the relevant statistical analysis and report your findings in response to the questions in a way that anyone can understand. Please remember that this is a Capstone, and has a degree of difficulty/ambiguity higher than the previous four courses. The aim being to mimic a real life application as close as possible....

Had a good opportunity to practice regression, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals. Now whenever I read any research paper, it feels good to be able to interpret all the models

The capstone project lets you work with real data and poses interesting questions. What it lacked is some application of the Binomial and Poisson distribution, but the rest of the content in the specialization can be well applied to the project.

You have to be a little patient, there are two final peer graded assignments and depending on how many learners are enrolled and actively taking the course, your grade can take more than expected, since to get your grades you need to review other peers assginments and wait for anyone to do the same to yours.

Capstone is very interesting but could have provided more practical sample solutions. Calculating housing value based on age and revenue of owner is unlikely to support real estate business!

Good summary of the prior 4 courses with an emphasis on linear regression models. I learned how to leverage excel for descriptive and predictive data analysis. Thanks!

The data file used for the capstone has errors, and this makes it difficult to perform the required analyses.
