课程概述

Understanding statistics is essential to understand research in the social and behavioral sciences. In this course you will learn the basics of statistics; not just how to calculate them, but also how to evaluate them. This course will also prepare you for the next course in the specialization - the course Inferential Statistics. In the first part of the course we will discuss methods of descriptive statistics. You will learn what cases and variables are and how you can compute measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and dispersion (standard deviation and variance). Next, we discuss how to assess relationships between variables, and we introduce the concepts correlation and regression. The second part of the course is concerned with the basics of probability: calculating probabilities, probability distributions and sampling distributions. You need to know about these things in order to understand how inferential statistics work. The third part of the course consists of an introduction to methods of inferential statistics - methods that help us decide whether the patterns we see in our data are strong enough to draw conclusions about the underlying population we are interested in. We will discuss confidence intervals and significance tests. Normally, you would not only learn about all these statistical concepts, but you would also be trained to calculate and generate these statistics yourself using freely available statistical software. Due to technical issues we are currently unable to do so. We will try to offer this again soon....

took the free option. It has been good so far, learning a ton. I find the videos move quickly and after watching them I had to re-read the material, overall i would recommend this course.

Very good course. Excellent examples, quiz. and learning from the R tool exercises. An advice is to go through the R tool exercises in the same order as the course.

Enroll only if you already know R. Also, the R Lab assignments are trash. The probability topics are not so well explained but the statistics part is good enough

Great class, but I wish there were more practice problems. Statistics is a very important concept to learn for any field, and I highly recommend this class.

First 3 modules are very good. Going from basic statistics to basic probability. 4th module onward it is not basic anymore. I would split it into 2 parts.

I got the basic concepts from this course. Some parts were more difficult and did not make sense with the explanations from the teacher.

A nice course, I really learned. I think some of the themes should be more explained, specifically themes corresponding to week 3 and 4.

Very enjoyable course with some great, relatable examples. I found the probability modules (3&4) very tough but got there in the end.

Clear explanations, very useful indeed.

It helps you you get familiar with basic statistical concepts and to begin to use R.

It was pretty solid. Wouldn't necessarily recommend the course specifically, but I definitely wouldn't recommend against it

It's everything I needed to keep running with Data Scientist Specialization preparing.

Thank you so much for your support!

Statistics was my weak area. But this course made it easy for me. I think I can study some deep part of statistics

Excellent course and well taught by both instructors. 4 stars because of the lack of feedback on quizzes and exam.

So far a very nice course, well explained and clear enough to be followed even by non mathematicians. Well done!
