Data Society’s Data Society’s online program for analysts translates the in-person trainings into comprehensive learning modules that students can take at their own pace. Students can watch instructional videos, complete practical exercises, take assessments to earn certifications, and build a portfolio of data science projects. The program uses only real world data sets and incorporates data cleaning in every module in order to give students a real world experience of executing a data science project or building a predictive model from end-to-end. Students learn not only the theory behind the methods, they also learn how the algorithms work, why they work and in which situations to apply them.

Topics include:

1. R programming

2. Unsupervised machine learning: clustering, feature selection, feature extraction, graph analysis

3. Supervised machine learning: classification, regression, time-series analysis

4. Static data visualization

5. Interactive data visualization

6. Application development in R

7. Executive data science course work

By the end of the program, students will know how to:

1. Work with multiple file types in R (csv, xls, pdf, SQL, JSON, XML, txt, etc.)

2. Manipulate, clean and format data in R

3. Manipulate, clean and format data in SQL

4. Visualize data and understand how to convey results effectively

5. Publish applications to the web with RShiny

6. Cluster and mine data

7. Use feature selection and feature extraction

8. Mine text data

9. Analyze network structures

10. Perform regression modeling

11. Use hypothesis testing and statistical significance

12. Perform time-series and seasonality modeling

13. Use classification algorithms

14. Use ensemble models
