Fundamentals of Statistics For Data Analysis

This three day course is designed for anyone who’s going to make a career working in data. It is practical in nature and will take you through the statistical fundamentals that you’re going to need to thrive as a data analyst or scientist.

Whether you work with Excel, R, Python or any other data solution, you will need to understand statistics to get your data analysis off the ground.

The course is taught using R for programming illustration with a focus on statistic that applies across domains.

Target audience:
Aimed at fledging data practitioners who wish to have a practical understanding of statistical methods.
