Description:
Interested in becoming a Data Analysts? Want to gain practical skills and solve real world business problems? Then this is pefrect course for you!! This course is created by a Senior Data Analyst who has near 10 years of experience in Insurance and Health Care sectors. This course will equip you with foundation knowledge and help you learn key concepts of loading data, data manipulation, data aggregation, and how to use libraries/packages in a simple method.I will guide you step-by-step into the World of Data Analysis. With every lecture and lab exercise, you will gain and develop understandings of these concepts to tackle the real data problems! This course is mainly designed by using R to solve the labs and capstone project(s). This course will be super useful and exciting. I tried my best to design the course curriculum in the most natural logical flow:Module 0 - Intro to R: setup R environment and understand the basics of R packages/librariesModule 1 - Load and Write Data: how to load and write data from flat files (i.e., .csv or Excel format)Module 2 - Data Types and Formatting: master the data types and learn how to convert data types for right operationsModule 3 - Data Manipulation: clean and preprocess data, perform sorting, ordering and subsetting recordsModule 4 - Join Operations: learn how to perform joins using R packages (i.e., dplyr and sqldf)Module 5 - Data Aggregation: learn how to aggregate data using summary statistics and perform feature engineeringModule 6 - Time Intelligence: learn how to calculate # business days and time dimension analysisModule 7 - Data Visualization: learn basics of exploratory data analysis (EDA) and uni-variate/bi-variate visualizations Each module is independent content. Techinically speaking, you can take the course from start to end or jump into any specific topics of your interest. However, I highly recommend students to take course from Module 1 to 7 in order to complete the capstone project challenge!This course is packed with real world data/business problems that I solved during my career as a senior data analyst. You will learn not just concepts but a lot of practical and hands-on experience from the course. Enroll today and take the first step towards mastering the art of data analysis using R.
