Summarizing Data Using Google Sheets (Coursera)

Offered by Coursera Project Network,
Summarizing Data Using Google Sheets (Coursera)

This project gives you easy access to the invaluable summarizing data techniques used by experts in business, science, math, sports, art, music, literature, and many other disciplines. We’ll learn how to summarize vast amounts of data into a few numbers, charts, and graphs to gain the invaluable insights hidden in them. We’ll also cover the most commonly used methods in the business setting while focusing on how to develop them and when one is more appropriate than others. We will use Google Sheets and large data sets to illustrate how to create the summary techniques.

Using these techniques, no matter what your skill levels in the topic, you can change your way of solving problems using data and approaching them. If you’re already an expert, this peep under the methods in data science will give you ideas for turbocharging successful learning, including tips and insights that will help you make the best use of data for your decision-making. If you’re struggling, you’ll see a structured treasure trove of practical techniques that walk you through what you need to do to get on track. If you’ve ever wanted to become better at summarizing data, this project will help serve as your guide.

In this Guided Project, you will:

  • Use Google Sheets to construct frequency tables, bar charts, histograms, scatter plots, pie charts to analyze your data.

Learn step-by-step
Task 1: Frequency tables in Google sheets – Quantitative Data
Task 2: Frequency tables in Google Sheets – Qualitative Data
Task 3: Presenting Frequency Tables as a Bar Graph in Google Sheets
Task 4: Histograms in Google Sheets

Recent years have seen a dramatic growth of natural language text data, including web pages, news articles, scientific literature, emails, enterprise documents, and social media such as blog articles, forum posts, product reviews, and tweets. Text data are unique in that they are usually generated directly by humans rather than a computer system or sensors, and are thus especially valuable for discovering knowledge about people’s opinions and preferences, in addition to many other kinds of knowledge that we encode in text.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. It is a convergence point for multidisciplinary work from many disciplines. Psychologists, statisticians, physicists, computer scientists, neuroscientists, medical researchers, behavioral scientists, engineers, public health researchers, biologists, and others are coming together to advance our understanding of the human mind and brain. This course covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, including psychological inference, MR Physics, K Space, experimental design, pre-processing of fMRI data, as well as Generalized Linear Models (GLM’s).

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.
