Data Scientist in Python (Dataquest)

Offered by Dataquest,
Data Scientist in Python (Dataquest)

Gain the Python skills you need to start and grow your career as a data scientist. You’ll learn to create data visualizations, perform web-scraping, build machine learning algorithms, and much more. By the end, you’ll be able to analyze datasets, help make business decisions, and use machine learning to solve complex problems.

In this path, you’ll learn how to master mandatory data scientist technical skills, including object-oriented and functional programming with Python, libraries like scikit-learn, Matplotlib, NumPy, and pandas. You’ll also master web scraping and SQL queries, deep learning and machine learning, and predictive analysis.
To help you stand out from other candidates, we included concepts such as the UNIX command line, Git, and GitHub to develop efficient collaboration.
Best of all, you’ll learn by doing — you’ll write code and get feedback directly in the browser. You’ll apply your skills to several guided projects involving realistic business scenarios to build your portfolio and prepare for your next interview.

A Crash Course in Causality: Inferring Causal Effects from Observational Data (Coursera)

We have all heard the phrase “correlation does not equal causation.” What, then, does equal causation? This course aims to answer that question and more! Over a period of 5 weeks, you will learn how causal effects are defined, what assumptions about your data and models are necessary, and how to implement and interpret some popular statistical methods. Learners will have the opportunity to apply these methods to example data in R (free statistical software environment).
