Learning-by-Building Module (Not Graded)

Statistical Treatment of Retail Dataset

  • Using what you’ve learned, formulate a question and derive a statistical hypothesis test to answer the question. You have to demonstrate that you’re able to make decisions using data in a scientific manner.
    Examples of questions can be:

    • Is there a difference in profitability between standard shipment and same-day shipment?
    • Supposed there is no difference in profitability between the different product segment, what is the probability that we obtain the current observation due to pure chance alone?

Workshop Receivables:

  • Workshop Lecturer’s Notes

    Including 2x Course Books (PDF), HTML files, course transcripts (if any).

  • Highly-accelerated Learning

    Learn under the assistance of mentorship of our lead instructor and a band of qualified teaching assistants throughout the 2-day course.

  • Certification of Completion

    Show current and prospective employers that you’ve completed the course with a signed certificate of completion.

  • Quality Learning Environment

    We pay meticulous attention to the logistical details of our workshops: quality audio and visual setups, comfortable sitting arrangements, small group size. Dinners are included for evening workshops.

  • Supplement Materials

    Receive supplement datasets to practice on, reference notes, working files (R Notebook or Jupyter Notebook), and other materials that will help you master the topics.

This workshop is recommended for:

The Programming for Data Science workshop is designed for casual learners, working professionals and non-programmers that are taking their first steps into data science and machine learning.

Students are not assumed to have a working knowledge of R or prior proficiency in statistics / mathematics / algebra. At such the workshop follows a gentle learning curve and emphasize on hands-on, one-to-one tutoring from our team of instructors and teaching assistants.

Consider taking our Intermediate-level workshops instead for more advanced-level materials in statistical programming and machine learning.

Past Workshops in this Series:

Students work through tons of real-life examples using sample datasets donated by our team of mentors and corporate partners. We believe in a learn-by-building approach, and we employ instructors who are uncompromisingly passionate about your growth and education.

Part of the Data Visualization and Machine Learning Specialization Track

This workshop is part of the two specialization tracks offered by Algoritma Data Science Academy. Participants are rewarded with a certificate of completion upon passing criteria, and are encouraged to advance further in the respective data science specialization.
