Big Data 104: Making Predictions (3-day course)

Classroom

Big Data 104, the final 3-part course of the Big Data series, will teach you how to use correlation and regression to make statistical models used for making predictions. This class will help you use the data you have already collected to make powerful predictions. We will also use R to create and analyze regression models.

I'm very grateful to SumAll for graciously hosting this class. In this class we will cover statistics from a theoretical and practical perspective. In this course you will learn to use R to run correlations and create regressions. R is a very powerful and versatile open source tool that is available for free by clicking on that link. Please come with R and RStudio loaded on your laptop. Don’t worry if you don’t have a laptop, you can follow along in class, and I’ll send you the command lines to look over at home.

Prerequisites

You should know how to calculate standard deviations and z-scores, which I cover in Big Data 101. Don’t let your fear of math stop you from being great at stats! All of the math you need for this course you learned by the 10th grade.
