About the Course

This course focuses on the concepts and tools behind reporting modern data analyses in a reproducible manner. Reproducible research is the idea that data analyses, and more generally, scientific claims, are published with their data and software code so that others may verify the findings and build upon them. The need for reproducibility is increasing dramatically as data analyses become more complex, involving larger datasets and more sophisticated computations. Reproducibility allows for people to focus on the actual content of a data analysis, rather than on superficial details reported in a written summary. In addition, reproducibility makes an analysis more useful to others because the data and code that actually conducted the analysis are available. This course will focus on literate statistical analysis tools which allow one to publish data analyses in a single document that allows others to easily execute the same analysis to obtain the same results....

My favorite course, at least it gives me an argument why scripted statistics is awesome and can be applied to a number of data related activities. Recycling chunks of code has proven useful to me.

A very important course that greatly improved my ability to communicate the findings of any sort of data analysis that I perform. This is a critical skill to acquire to "deliver the means."

The course already needs and actualization, plus they must fix the order of the first assignment. Besides that, this is a really useful and fulfilling course.

lectures are a little bit theoretical and at some point maybe boring but projects will give you a real experience with data and research reproducibility.

All in all a great course with very valuable information to make a data scientist better at his job. However it could have been covered in 2 weeks time

Interesting course, but course assginments lack guidance, have too much complexity and require a time spent too long compared to the benefits

Overall I found this course useful. My only complaint is that the material needed to complete the first assignment in week 1 came in week 2.

Good principles, lectures are improving but still a bit dry and very boring slides. I learned more from my peer reviews than anything else.

Good explication of reproducible analysis and representation of didactic approached towards it.

Thank you & keep up the tutoring skills...

Good course as part of the data science specialization. Much effort needed for assignments in contrast to this relative light topic.

Very good course. Would love to get to see examples of some advanced usage of knitr in developing presentations and complex reports.

This was another very useful course in the series, with (peer reviewed) assignments taking on a very significant role.

peer assignment is tough, hard and great to learn.

but the course is very general, not that related to the assignment
