Organizations generate more data than ever, but turning raw numbers into confident, data-driven strategy requires real analytical skill. This Specialization builds that skill across three courses: you'll run and interpret regression models in Excel, SPSS, and R; examine the architecture, tools, and cloud infrastructure behind Big Data platforms like Hadoop, Spark, and BigQuery; and apply data storytelling, KPIs, and visualization techniques to turn analysis into strategic recommendations. By the end, you'll be able to build statistical models, evaluate large-scale data systems, and present data-backed strategies that stakeholders can act on.
Applied Learning Project
Through hands-on practice, you'll run and interpret regression analyses on real ad-spend and sales data using Excel, SPSS, and R, map out a Big Data architecture and hosting strategy for a sample organization, and build a data-driven presentation that translates metrics into actionable business recommendations.
