Data Analysis with Python

IBM via Cognitive Class

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Learn how to analyze data using Python. This course will take you from the basics of Python to exploring many different types of data. You will learn how to prepare data for analysis, perform simple statistical analyses, create meaningful data visualizations, predict future trends from data, and more!You will learn how to:
  • Import data sets
  • Clean and prepare data for analysis
  • Manipulate pandas DataFrame
  • Summarize data
  • Build machine learning models using scikit-learn
  • Build data pipelines
Data Analysis with Python is delivered through lecture, hands-on labs, and assignments. It includes following parts:
  • Data Analysis libraries: will learn to use Pandas DataFrames, Numpy multi-dimentional arrays, and SciPy libraries to work with a various datasets. We will introduce you to pandas, an open-source library, and we will use it to load, manipulate, analyze, and visualize cool datasets. Then we will introduce you to another open-source library, scikit-learn, and we will use some of its machine learning algorithms to build smart models and make cool predictions.

    I have started learning this courses which seeks more attention to learn something new on python, however the code that was shared for practice in lab session is completely wrong and unable to fetch the data. I request to check the proper URL link to import the csv file from URL in python. Would be really appreciated if anyone can take a glance of it and try to resolve.
