Course Description

Many business decisions involve comparing groups of data for differences. For example, you might examine sales records to see if men and women prefer different product features. Or, you might see whether product recognition survey data relates to subsequent product purchase behavior. The Intermediate Data Analysis course introduces you to the statistical analysis methods behind these group differences and relationships. In addition, you’ll learn how to work with ratings and graphs to create user-friendly reports of statistical results.
