Industry analysis shows a 650% Data Science job growth since 2012, with an estimated 11.5 million new jobs projected by 2026. This course aims to provide students with the latest job-ready tools and skills, including open source tools and libraries. Learn data science through lectures and hands-on practice using real data science tools and real-world data sets.
1
This session focuses on techniques for importing various data formats into R. Students will learn to work with CSV, Excel, JSON, and SQL databases using packages like {readr}, {readxl}, {jsonlite}, and {DBI}.
2
Data quality challenges are addressed in this session. Students learn to identify and handle missing values, outliers, and inconsistencies in their datasets using the {tidyr} and {dplyr} packages.
3
This first session establishes the foundational concepts of data science and introduces the R ecosystem. Students will set up their R environment, including RStudio and essential packages.
4
This session introduces the powerful Tidyverse ecosystem for exploratory data analysis in R. Students will master {dplyr} for data manipulation, learning to filter, select, mutate, summarize, and group data efficiently.
5
Effective data visualization techniques are the focus of this session, with an emphasis on creating plots that tell compelling stories about economic data.
6
This session introduces statistical techniques commonly used in economic analysis. Students will learn to perform hypothesis testing, correlation analysis, and regression modeling using R packages like {stats}, {car}, and {lmtest}.
7
This session introduces machine learning concepts using the {tidymodels} framework in R. Students will learn about supervised and unsupervised learning approaches relevant to economic data analysis, including classification, regression, and clustering algorithms.
8
This session focuses on creating reproducible, automated data science workflows using the {targets} package in R. Students will learn to build data pipelines that efficiently manage dependencies between data processing steps.
9
This session introduces Quarto as a powerful tool for creating dynamic, reproducible documents that combine code, results, and narrative. Students will learn to create professional reports, presentations, and dashboards that effectively communicate their data insights.
10
The final session introduces {shiny} for creating interactive web applications that allow users to engage with data analyses without coding knowledge. Students will learn the basics of reactive programming and how to build user interfaces that showcase their project findings.
