    About the Course

    This course introduces you to sampling and exploring data, as well as basic probability theory and Bayes' rule. You will examine various types of
    sampling methods, and discuss how such methods can impact the scope of inference. A variety of exploratory data analysis techniques will be
    covered, including numeric summary statistics and basic data visualization. You will be guided through installing and using R and RStudio (free
    statistical software), and will use this software for lab exercises and a final project. The concepts and techniques in this course will serve as
    building blocks for the inference and modeling courses in the Specialization.

    After trying several courses to get me started with R programming, this one came to the rescue and had all the info I wanted. It also provides a great way to practice through labs and a final project!

    I always wanted to learn statistics from scratch, but I never had a good university teacher. Here I found a good teacher and also the opportunity to learn whenever I want ( and skipping parts I knew!)

    It is a very interesting course. The final work is very demanding, at least in my case because I did not know the R, but I learned a lot doing the final work. Thank you

    The course is quite great. It introduces basic concepts of statistics and then the applied part of the same. The project at the end of the course was even more helpful.

    Really good overview of basic probability theory and R. Like the focus on practical applications and real life studies that were done instead of just toy problems.

    Great stuff, well organized lectures. From zero experience in using R to having some idea with it only took me a week to complete this course. Highly recommended!

    One of the only courses I enjoyed solving and analyzing. It is structured beautifully and is not too easy to the point you get bored. It has some fun challenges.

    Good introduction to data analysis with R. Installation of RStudio and downloading the markdown files was slightly tricky at first. But after that its all good.

    Most of the content is useful. Some of the probability exercises do not seem necessary for someone going into applied statistics, but they were fun nonetheless.

    The material and the presentation are very clear and informative. The quizzes are not difficult but not trivial either. The final project is quite interesting.
