Data Analytics: Statistics & Data Visualization
Tools you'll use
  • Python
  • pandas
  • NumPy

After this track you can

  • Read a correlation coefficient without inferring causation
  • Invert a probability with Bayes without memorising the formula
  • Explain a p-value and a confidence interval correctly
  • Choose the right chart and recognise a misleading one

Two halves. Statistics: correlation, Bayesian thinking, sampling distributions and hypothesis testing — chosen because they turn up most in real work and go wrong most often. Visualization: picking the right chart for the question, reading a distribution off a histogram, and spotting a misleading chart before you make one yourself. Every idea has a simulation you can drag, because a p-value and the central limit theorem are things to watch happen.
