Description

About the course

This course covers in details, an introduction to R, Linear algebra for data science which includes algebraic view consisting of vectors, matrices, a product of matrix & vector, rank, null space, a solution of overdetermined set of equations and pseudo-inverse and Geometric view consisting of vectors, distance, projections, and eigenvalue decomposition. Then it teaches you about Statistics which include descriptive statistics, the notion of probability, distributions, mean, variance, covariance, covariance matrix, understanding univariate and multivariate normal distributions, introduction to hypothesis testing, and the confidence interval for estimates.

After that, it introduces you to the concept of optimization followed by the typology of data science problems and a solution framework. Then it covers what is Simple linear regression and how to verify assumptions used in linear regression. Also, the course covers Multivariate linear regression, model assessment, assessing the importance of different variables, subset selection. After that it teaches you the classification using logistic regression and finally, the course concludes with classification using K Nearest Neighbour and K-Means Clustering. This is completely an online course, and you can access it from anywhere in the world.

Why Learn Data Science for Engineers?

Data science has over the past few years come a really long way. That is why it is an integral part of understanding the working of many industries, however complex and intricate. Data science is the future of the world today. The data scientists are also the integral part of the organization and they help the world address major global challenges, that in turn can have far-reaching impacts across countries. The demand for data scientists is increasing so quickly, that McKinsey predicts that by 2018, there will be a 50 percent gap in the supply of data scientists versus demand.
