Course Overview

The Essentials of Data Science with R Software- 1 program is the first course of the Data Science essentials series that focuses on studying statistical inferences and probability. It lays a foundational understanding of concepts and theories of data computation. Students will learn to use R software for statistics to derive correct inferences.

Students will explore concepts relating to Data Science computational inferences listed in the Essentials of Data Science with R Software- 1 certification syllabus. The curriculum studies attributes, hypotheses, probability distributions, and variables. Students will be asked to interact in the online classes and submit written assignments for scoring.

IIT Kanpur offers the Essentials of Data Science with R Software – 1 online course. Professor Shalabh from the institute mentors course learners. Students can go for an e-verifiable certificate by paying an exam fee. While students must have a mathematics background, an understanding of statistics is also preferred.
