Data Science: Statistics and Machine Learning

Build models, make inferences, and deliver interactive data products. This specialization continues and develops on the material from the Data Science: Foundations using R specialization. It covers statistical inference, regression models, machine learning, and the development of data products. In the Capstone Project, you’ll apply the skills learned by building a data product using real-world data. At completion, learners will have a portfolio demonstrating their mastery of the material. The five courses in this specialization are the very same courses that make up the second half of the Data Science Specialization. This specialization is presented for learners who have already mastered the fundamentals and want to skip right to the more advanced courses

• Perform regression analysis, least squares and inference using regression models
• Build and apply prediction functions
• Develop public data products

• Basic familiarity with the topic and its common terminology
• Readiness to practice through applied exercises or case-based work
