Course Overview
Data modeling has become a pervasive need in today's business environment. Often the volume of data you need to process goes beyond the capabilities of spreadsheet modeling. When this is the case, the statistical programming language R offers a powerful alternative. With R, you can avoid the cost of standalone statistical packages. Likewise, you don't need a huge investment in learning the structures required to use a more fully featured programming language.
In this course, you will work through the basic methods of predictive analytics, including generating descriptives, visualization, single and multiple regression, and logistic regression. The benefits of using R for logistic regression are significant, and these are explored in detail. When you have completed this course, you will have gained experience developing R code to solve novel problems in which basic predictive methods are required.
