Introduction to Linear Models and Matrix Algebra

This course has been designed for those who are doing intensive data research. It caters to a broad audience of data scientists.

Principles, Statistical and Computational Tools for Reproducible Data Science

This course is designed for those who are new to the study of probability, or those who are seeking an approachable review of core concepts prior to enrolling in a college-level statistics course.

Fat Chance: Probability from the Ground Up

Candidates will learn valuable concepts in probability theory, revolving around the circumstances surrounding the financial crisis of 2007–2008. 

Data Science: Probability

This course will show how inference and modeling can be applied to develop the statistical approaches that make polls an effective tool using R. 

Data Science: Inference and Modeling

There are two parts of this course. The first part comprises five lessons that introduce the theory of causal diagrams and describe its applications to causal inference. The second part presents a series of case studies that highlight the practical applications of causal diagrams to real-world questions from the health and social sciences.

Causal Diagrams: Draw Your Assumptions Before Your Conclusions

In this course, learners will be working with practitioners in social, life, and physical sciences to understand how calculus and mathematical models play a role in their work.
