Forecasting Univariate Time Series with an LSTM (Coursera)

Forecasting Univariate Time Series with an LSTM (Coursera)

Create a Jupyter Notebook in order to forecast a univariate time series (in our case new one family home sales) using an LSTM. You will also be able to tell when univariate time series have the appropriate structure to be forecasted with LSTM's or even using any other univariate forecasting techniques.

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).

Probabilistic Graphical Models 2: Inference (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more.
