About the Course

This course introduces you to sampling and exploring data, as well as basic probability theory and Bayes' rule. You will examine various types of sampling methods, and discuss how such methods can impact the scope of inference. A variety of exploratory data analysis techniques will be covered, including numeric summary statistics and basic data visualization. You will be guided through installing and using R and RStudio (free statistical software), and will use this software for lab exercises and a final project. The concepts and techniques in this course will serve as building blocks for the inference and modeling courses in the Specialization....

I always wanted to learn statistics from scratch, but I never had a good university teacher. Here I found a good teacher and also the opportunity to learn whenever I want ( and skipping parts I knew!)

After trying several courses to get me started with R programming, this one came to the rescue and had all the info I wanted. It also provides a great way to practice through labs and a final project!

I think it will be better if you give students more R practical assignment. But overall, very useful and helpful learning!

the probability part of this project is good but the last assignment is not as per the course.Its mostly based on R.

A brief discussion to the questions asked in between the video lecture might be useful for those who got it wrong.

Very good basic level statistics course. Although I believe the R should be taught more detailed and using video.

The Course should have more detailed plotting guides and more videos on GGPLOT package for visualisation of data.

Las explicaciones son claras, pero los talleres finales no me convencen. Algunos videos son muy largos también.

Theoretical part was very well explained. But there should have been a little more details of R programming.

We used DPLYR package without any requisite introduction, but it was nonetheless very informative, thanks!

Very good introduction to data

a pre requisite of R programming would have made this course easier
