Unlike the rest of our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science, in this course, you will receive much less guidance from the instructors. When you complete the project you will have a data product to show off to potential employers or educational programs, a strong indicator of your expertise in the field of data science.

What you will learn

  • How to apply the knowledge base and skills learned throughout the series to a real-world problem
  • How to independently work on a data analysis project

Data Science: Probability (edX)

Learn probability theory — essential for a data scientist — using a case study on the financial crisis of 2007–2008. In this course, you will learn valuable concepts in probability theory. The motivation for this course is the circumstances surrounding the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Part of what caused this financial crisis was that the risk of some securities sold by financial institutions was underestimated. To begin to understand this very complicated event, we need to understand the basics of probability.
