Applied Data Analysis Masterclass: Visualization, Statistics and Advanced Programs

Why Attend

Effective data analysis starts with good data collection and/or selection. Conducting this requires good comprehension of all data types and their multiple sources. Furthermore, structuring that properly allows the ease of its visualization under different charts and describes all the results with adequate and efficient descriptive statistics measures.

This course starts with key points in designing a smart data collection process, sampling best approach, validating the quality of the information stored for analysis, and understanding all the visualization possibilities and their corresponding descriptive statistical KPIs. Moreover, this course explores all techniques and tools for comprehensive data analysis, prior to kicking off any work or even a career in the world of data. The course also serves as a primer to any Machine Learning course/program.

In addition, this course is designed to make participants have a clear and complete understanding of data structuring for efficient data analysis, of profiling different groups scientifically by analyzing data smartly and efficiently, and of appropriately manipulating several technology tools now in the market.

Course Methodology

Each statistical tool or methodology used during the course is supported by its own case study with step by step outputs that go in parallel with multi stage analysis.

In addition to group discussions, all analysis tools are detailed and demonstrated with sequential screen shot applications on comparative technologies (EXCEL – STATISTICA and SAS – R and Python).

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Comprehend and plan the lifecycle of a good data analysis project
Translate any business into a comprehensive database
Evaluate data quality for analysis and reporting
Describe and interpret data basics with complete descriptive statistics
Explore the complete story behind data analysis

Target Audience

Applied Data Analysis is the foundation for all Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) practitioners. It is prerequisite knowledge that is applicable in all industries and data related functions.

Meirc Professional Certificate (MPC)

MPC certified courses by Meirc Training and Consulting are designed for those willing to challenge themselves and go the extra distance. Participants who fully attend an MPC course and successfully complete the test on the last day, will receive a Meirc Professional Certificate (MPC), in addition to the one they receive for attendance. MPC certificates are regionally recognized and can be quite valuable when applying for more senior roles within the organization or outside.
