Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Week 1
Importing Datasets
In this module, you will learn how to understand data and learn about how to use the libraries in Python to help you import data from multiple sources. You will then learn how to perform some basic tasks to start exploring and analyzing the imported data set.
6 videos [Total 20 min], 1 reading, 6 quizzes
Week 2
Data Wrangling
In this module, you will learn how to perform some fundamental data wrangling tasks that, together, form the pre-processing phase of data analysis. These tasks include handling missing values in data, formatting data to standardize it and make it consistent, normalizing data, grouping data values into bins, and converting categorical variables into numerical quantitative variables.
6 videos [Total 19 min], 1 reading, 6 quizzes
Week 3
Exploratory Data Analysis
In this module, you will learn what is meant by exploratory data analysis, and you will learn how to perform computations on the data to calculate basic descriptive statistical information, such as mean, median, mode, and quartile values, and use that information to better understand the distribution of the data. You will learn about putting your data into groups to help you visualize the data better, you will learn how to use the Pearson correlation method to compare two continuous numerical variables, and you will learn how to use the Chi-square test to find the association between two categorical variables and how to interpret them.
6 videos [Total 20 min], 1 reading, 6 quizzes
Week 4
Model Development
In this module, you will learn how to define the explanatory variable and the response variable and understand the differences between the simple linear regression and multiple linear regression models. You will learn how to evaluate a model using visualization and learn about polynomial regression and pipelines. You will also learn how to interpret and use the R-squared and the mean square error measures to perform in-sample evaluations to numerically evaluate our model. And lastly, you will learn about prediction and decision making when determining if our model is correct.

TOP REVIEWS FROM DATA ANALYSIS WITH PYTHON
by BDNov 23, 2019
Really interesting course, if one wants learn programming language. Well designed and structured. Only suggestion is, if the small videos contains example that be really great to understand it well
by LMMar 10, 2020
Very good course that goes straight to the main topics needed to work on data analysis using Python. This will kick start my learning process which will be followed with a lot of coding practices.
by WZNov 8, 2020
A great introduction to fitting data in python.
The core principles and measures are well explained.
The only slight minus point: No information about the interpretation of fitting parameters.
by CTMay 14, 2021
Good course, sometimes moves a bit fast in the final modules and the labs are quite tough but great course and would recommend to broaden your knowledge of coding, data analysis and visualisation
