Basic Data Analysis and Model Building using Python (Coursera)

Basic Data Analysis and Model Building using Python (Coursera)

By the end of this project learners will be able to perform data ingestion using Pandas and Numpy, preprocess and visualize the data using Matplotlib and Seaborn. Learners will also build a binary classification model using Scikit-Learn. Additionally, learners will be introduced to other data science concepts and techniques such as standardization and up- and down-sampling of biased data. It is important to manipulate your data such that it can then be used to build a predictive model.

Process Mining: Data science in Action (Coursera)

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.
