Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Data Science for Business Analytics: Introduction to Computing
National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)
This online course introduced students to fundamental statistical concepts using the lens of computation. Students learned the basics of the R language, on the RStudio platform. They also learned how to use interactive simulation tools and bootstrapping to rediscover fundamental statistical concepts such as centrality and dispersion. This course gives most students a first glimpse of intuitive, non-parametric methods that avail the computational power of their computer.
