Introduction to Data Science
5 videos • 133 views • by Heureka Labs This series of short videos provides an introduction to the emerging field of Data Science in R, including data analysis and visualization. Learners will be provided with publicly available datasets, and introduced to R packages and code used to examine data.These videos have been entirely redesigned to allow students to watch them asynchronously, integrating brief lectures and demonstrations of methods and hands-on use of the tools to analyze real data. Methods for filtering, sorting, and transforming data will be discussed along with visualization tools and options. Particular attention will be paid to code interpretation and data provenance methods by learning to generate reproducible data output files. For a final project, learners will be given a dataset to analyze using the tools learned during the course. Although specific datasets will be used for analysis in class, these videos will provide broadly applicable tools to reproducibly analyze and visualize data across a range of disciplines.
