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."

I think this not a complicated course but is absolutely fundamentals of proper scientific principles which are so often lacking in many data science/analytics projects.

A good informative course to inform about importance of "Reproducible Research", also a good one for practicing code writing and publishing in RPubs and Github.

Good info on RStudio & RR.

I can easily figure out who has attended this course by their methodical nature and work when I see Kaggle competitions. Great job!

Very important course. Not so many fancy analysis but it introduces to Markdown and explains well what does it mean to do data science within a community.

Very interesting, the fact that our research procedure can be explained and showed to other to reproduce, validate and work on top of it is fantastic.

Very important subject matter taught well. My only qualm is that the final project was more difficult than I expected it to be given the content.

Good course. Examples given throughout the course are biological based so it is little hard to understand completely because they are technical
