Data is everywhere, and it is becoming an increasingly important part of working life, regardless of industry or position — that’s where data analysis comes in. Making sense of this information and using it to your benefit is at the heart of data analysis, and everyone from the CEO to the marketing team depends on it to help meet business goals.
Data analysis is a complex field requiring a broad range of knowledge, including computer modelling and statistics, so learning the basics is the best place to start. This course gives you a broad introduction to the field, beginning with definitions of key terms so you understand them in the context of information gathering and processing. It then covers a recommended data analysis model with step-by-step instructions, general best practice tips for working with data, and how to use software to assist the process.
