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.

Mindware: Critical Thinking for the Information Age (Coursera)

Most professions these days require more than general intelligence. They require in addition the ability to collect, analyze and think about data. Personal life is enriched when these same skills are applied to problems in everyday life involving judgment and choice. This course presents basic concepts from statistics, probability, scientific methodology, cognitive psychology and cost-benefit theory and shows how they can be applied to everything from picking one product over another to critiquing media accounts of scientific research. Concepts are defined briefly and breezily and then applied to many examples drawn from business, the media and everyday life.

Statistical Inference (Coursera)

Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions about populations or scientific truths from data. There are many modes of performing inference including statistical modeling, data oriented strategies and explicit use of designs and randomization in analyses. Furthermore, there are broad theories (frequentists, Bayesian, likelihood, design based, …) and numerous complexities (missing data, observed and unobserved confounding, biases) for performing inference.
