Introducción a Data Science: Programación Estadística con R (Coursera)

Offered by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México,
Introducción a Data Science: Programación Estadística con R (Coursera)

Este curso te proporcionará las bases del lenguaje de programación estadística R, la lengua franca de la estadística, el cual te permitirá escribir programas que lean, manipulen y analicen datos cuantitativos. Te explicaremos la instalación del lenguaje; también verás una introducción a los sistemas base de gráficos y al paquete para graficar ggplot2, para visualizar estos datos. Además también abordarás la utilización de uno de los IDEs más populares entre la comunidad de usuarios de R, llamado RStudio.

Objetivo:
Al término del curso:
Utilizarás el lenguaje de programación R con el fin de manipular datos, generar análisis estadísticos y representación gráfica, a través del procesamiento de datos cuantitativos.
Forma de trabajo
Este curso busca introducirte en el lenguaje de programación estadística R, un lenguaje computacional diseñado para el análisis estadístico de datos. Este curso está dirigido a estudiantes y profesionales que tienen interés en poder utilizar esta herramienta, para leer, manipular, analizar y graficar datos.
Utilizarás un IDE (Ambiente de Desarrollo Integrado) muy popular para trabajar con el lenguaje R, llamado RStudio, que se ha vuelto el IDE de facto para programar en R.
En cada módulo encontrarás videos que te guiarán en la instalación de las herramientas a utilizar, así como explicaciones de las operaciones básicas y los elementos específicos que ofrecen un manejo más profundo del lenguaje. También hallarás algunas referencias bibliográficas para ahondar en el tema que sea de tu interés.
Para complementar las lecciones, realizarás prácticas con el lenguaje, las cuales tendrán valor para la evaluación.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Instalación de Herramientas
Una pequeña introducción a lo que veremos en el curso y la instalación de las herramientas a usar en él, tanto para sistemas operativos Windows, Linux y Mac OS.
Introducción al Lenguaje
En esta primera semana, tendrás tus primeros pasos en el lenguaje, entenderás que son los objetos, las clases, los tipos de datos y podrás leer y escribir datos a distintas fuentes y tipos de archivos.

WEEK 2
Utilización del Lenguaje
En esta semana, aprenderás a utilizar las estructuras de control para agilizar tareas repetitivas, a crear funciones para llevar a cabo tareas específicas o complejas, las reglas de alcance, el manejo de las fechas y variables de fechas, la importancia de utilizar operaciones vectorizadas para hacer tu código más rápido, por qué es importante escribir código con un buen estilo.

WEEK 3
Acercamiento al Sistema de Gráficos de R
En esta semana primero conocerás una familia de funciones vectorizadas, las cuales te permitirán efectuar operaciones con muy pocas líneas de código, después conocerás el sistema de gráficos y las funciones que permiten realizar modificaciones en él.

WEEK 4
Expresiones Regulares, Graficación con ggplot2 y Simulación
Ensta última semana aprenderás sobre expresiones regulares y cómo utilizarlas con R, graficarás con el paquete de gráficos ggplot2, entenderás cómo encontrar errores y arreglarlos y llevarás a cabo simulación.

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

This course focuses on the concepts and tools behind reporting modern data analyses in a reproducible manner. Reproducible research is the idea that data analyses, and more generally, scientific claims, are published with their data and software code so that others may verify the findings and build upon them. The need for reproducibility is increasing dramatically as data analyses become more complex, involving larger datasets and more sophisticated computations.

Data analysis has replaced data acquisition as the bottleneck to evidence-based decision making --- we are drowning in it. Extracting knowledge from large, heterogeneous, and noisy datasets requires not only powerful computing resources, but the programming abstractions to use them effectively. The abstractions that emerged in the last decade blend ideas from parallel databases, distributed systems, and programming languages to create a new class of scalable data analytics platforms that form the foundation for data science at realistic scales.
