Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Advanced Data Analysis course.
What statistical background do I need for this course?
This intermediate-level course requires a solid foundation in basic statistical concepts. You should be familiar with probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and basic regression analysis. Our Fundamentals of Statistics course or equivalent knowledge is a prerequisite. If you're unsure about your readiness, we offer a skills assessment to help determine if this course is the right fit for you.
Which statistical software is used in the course?
We primarily use R for this course, with supplementary use of Python for specific applications. Basic proficiency with R is expected, but we provide refresher materials before the course starts. The curriculum includes advanced R techniques specifically designed for sophisticated statistical analyses. Alternative software options like SPSS or SAS can be accommodated for specific assignments, though core instruction will be in R.
How much time should I dedicate weekly?
This intensive course requires approximately 10-12 hours per week, including class time, readings, and assignments. The course is structured to accommodate working professionals, with flexible scheduling options and recorded sessions available. The coursework becomes progressively more involved, with the capstone project requiring additional focus in the final weeks. We recommend clearing your schedule of other major commitments during the course duration.
