By completing this course, learners will be able to prepare datasets in R, apply statistical and visualization techniques, build regression models, and design, run, and evaluate neural networks. The course begins with data preparation essentials, including working with dataframes, descriptive statistics, and environment setup, ensuring learners can confidently manage their workflow. It then advances to data visualization, where learners generate line graphs, scatter plots, and advanced visualizations to interpret patterns and relationships. Regression modeling concepts are introduced to provide a solid predictive foundation. Finally, the course transitions to deep learning, guiding learners through dataset preparation, neural network coding, multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture, and predictive testing.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
