Work with a real-world dataset and build foundational data science skills. Build foundational data science skills by working through a real-world case study using a real data set from Yelp. This self-paced course is designed for people with some experience programming in Python, but who want to learn more about using libraries such as pandas for data science work.
After installing a fully featured distribution of Python, you'll learn key aspects of Jupyter notebooks and pandas before tackling a realistic business problem using a Yelp data set. Upon completion, you will have learned how to:
- Approach a data set with a business problem in mind
- Use common data science tools
- Load data and transform it for analysis
- Explore data through use of plots and statistics
- Present findings in the most relevant way
In short, you will have built the foundation of skills required by any professional data scientist.
