About the Course

This course takes a deep dive into the statistical foundation upon which data analytics is built. The first part of this course will help you to thoroughly understand your dataset and what the data actually means. Then, it will go into sampling including how to ask specific questions about your data and how to conduct analysis to answer those questions. Many of the mistakes made by data analysts today are due to a lack of understanding the concepts behind the tests they run, leading to incorrect tests or misinterpreting the results. This course is tailored to provide you with the necessary background knowledge to comprehend the "what" and "why" of your actions in a practical sense. By the end of this course you will be able to: • Understand the concept of dependent and independent variables • Identify variables to test • Understand the Null Hypothesis, P-Values, and their role in testing hypotheses • Formulate a hypothesis and align it to business goals • Identify actions based on hypothesis validation/invalidation • Explain Descriptive Statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, distribution) and their use cases • Understand basic concepts from Inferential Statistics • Explain the different levels of analytics (descriptive, predictive, prescriptive) in the context of marketing • Create basic statistical models for regression using data • Create time-series forecasts using historical data and basic statistical models • Understand the basic assumptions, use cases, and limitations of Linear Regression • Fit a linear regression model to a dataset and interpret the output using Tableau • Explain the difference between linear and multivariate regression • Run a segmentation (cluster) analysis • Describe the difference between observational methods and experiments This course is designed for people who want to learn the basics of descriptive and inferential statistics....

Statistics for Marketing has to be one of the best courses so far, mostly because it has been the most challenging, taking my knowledge and application of Statistical Analytics to the next level.

If you don't have experience in data modeling or analysis, this course is good. However, if you do have experience, I don't think you'll learn much that's new. The GAI course is interesting but generic; most of the information can be found online with a simple search. The capstone projects are well-structured with clear steps, but it might be more beneficial to provide data and let students do the analysis without the guided steps. Overall, it was okay. If you lack experience in analysis or statistical modeling, this is a good beginner course.

I had hoped that along the videos walking us through the software, there would be a dataset one could download to follow along with the teacher. Missed opportunity to practice everything there is to learn especially when using spreadsheets or tableau it was very difficult to gather a dataset to follow along with the instructor.

At first, when I enrolled I thought the course was going to be a statistics course with applications in the MKT field, however, I found the course kind of confussing. Explanations were not accurate and any of the content presented was well designed for students to understand it.

It is a good course for the basics. But it is always better to refer other sources along to get a clear picture of the statistical concepts. I did find some of the information to be not accurate.

There's only so much time for one course, but this one was so foundational some of the concepts covered were actually wrong due to omission. At least admit every time when gross simplification is used or learners will think this is how the world is.

Deberían impartir cursos en español. Los videos tiene una mala traducción al español. Estoy decepcionado con el curso.
