About the Course

The Business Statistics and Analysis Capstone is an opportunity to apply various skills developed across the four courses in the specialization to a real life data. The Capstone, in collaboration with an industry partner uses publicly available ‘Housing Data’ to pose various questions typically a client would pose to a data analyst. Your job is to do the relevant statistical analysis and report your findings in response to the questions in a way that anyone can understand. Please remember that this is a Capstone, and has a degree of difficulty/ambiguity higher than the previous four courses. The aim being to mimic a real life application as close as possible....

Had a good opportunity to practice regression, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals. Now whenever I read any research paper, it feels good to be able to interpret all the models

It's a dream come true. The five months of a journey ended via this course. I can say that I am a gentleman in excel and data analysis. I can't express my gratitude to the trainer in words. From the basics of data to the advanced calculations of regression we sailed through everything in excel. Ready to apply for jobs. Thank-you

Professor patiently spent time on each topic discussed. There were fair number of repetitions for caveats while performing an analysis which helps in retention. There is a clear link which ensures smooth progression from topic to topic. This one time, statistics didn't seem as daunting as it used to.

Really solidified the previous subjects in the course. Using larger sets of real data was extremely helpful as it taught small lessons, e.g. around data cleansing, that are implicit in data analysis but require a more experiential approach. Thank you Sharad.

Fantastic opportunity to develop data analysis skills. The Capstone is a great opportunity to test the knowledge learned whilst there is the right amount of guidance available to help you through without giving away too much.

It has just the right difficulty, definitely challenging at first, and about 90% of the material covered in previous courses is revisited. Truly a nice test that helps the student go from understanding to actual application.

This course strikes a great balance between giving guidance & giving freedom to the learner to self discover the solutions. The case study is also interesting!
