Analyse de données quantitatives en sciences humaines et sociales (ADSHS) (FUN)

Pas besoin d’être matheux pour être confronté, au quotidien, à une profusion de chiffres et de données statistiques. Dans les médias, sur les réseaux sociaux ou même dans les conversations ordinaires, il est courant d’argumenter, chiffres à l’appui. Pourtant, sommes-nous sûrs de savoir d’où viennent et comment ont été produites ces fameuses « données chiffrées » qui semblent faire autorité, ou qui animent tout au moins le débat ? Ce cours en ligne propose d’abord de revenir sur les raisons qui ont poussé les premiers chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales à introduire les données statistiques dans leurs raisonnements, stabilisant des méthodes d’investigation de l’opinion et des pratiques qui se sont par la suite vulgarisées dans l’espace social.

Vous découvrirez ensuite les bases de cette construction de données, et les difficultés qui y sont associées, difficultés que l’on oublie bien souvent de mentionner lorsque l’on fait parler les chiffres. De la définition d’un échantillon à la réalisation de tests de validité statistique, en passant par les rudiments de la confection d’un questionnaire, de construction de variables, ou de composition de tableaux, vous entrerez donc dans la mécanique des données quantitatives en sciences humaines et sociales. Parce que si la notion de « big data » fait beaucoup parler d’elle ces derniers temps, il nous a semblé utile de rappeler qu’il n’est pas forcément donné à tous de parler de «données», du moins sans un minimum de formation.

Plan de cours

Ce cours se déroulera sur 6 semaines.

Bioinformatic Methods I (Coursera)

Large-scale biology projects such as the sequencing of the human genome and gene expression surveys using RNA-seq, microarrays and other technologies have created a wealth of data for biologists. However, the challenge facing scientists is analyzing and even accessing these data to extract useful information pertaining to the system being studied. This course focuses on employing existing bioinformatic resources – mainly web-based programs and databases – to access the wealth of data to answer questions relevant to the average biologist, and is highly hands-on.

Data Visualization for Genome Biology (Coursera)

The past decade has seen a vast increase in the amount of data available to biologists, driven by the dramatic decrease in cost and concomitant rise in throughput of various next-generation sequencing technologies, such that a project unimaginable 10 years ago was recently proposed, the Earth BioGenomes Project, which aims to sequence the genomes of all eukaryotic species on the planet within the next 10 years. So while data are no longer limiting, accessing and interpreting those data has become a bottleneck. One important aspect of interpreting data is data visualization. This course introduces theoretical topics in data visualization through mini-lectures, and applied aspects in the form of hands-on labs.

Process mining is the missing link between model-based process analysis and data-oriented analysis techniques. Through concrete data sets and easy to use software the course provides data science knowledge that can be applied directly to analyze and improve processes in a variety of domains. Data science is the profession of the future, because organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis.
