My notes etc. for following along with Jeff Leek's Coursera course on Data Analysis.

[Coursera] Data Analysis: Lecture Notes & Course Work

These are my notes, experiments, and coursework for the Data Analysis course on Coursera, taught by Jeffrey Leek (see also: Simply Statistics). The one-liner description of the course from the Coursera site:

Learn about the most effective data analysis methods to solve problems and achieve insight.

About this Repository

The course uses R as the primary tool for conducting data analyses. Leeks recommends using R Studio, and so do I. (Also: do yourself a favor and get R Studio set up to use R Markdown.)

The general layout here:

  • lectures - Lecture notes and associated materials.
  • quizzes - "Showing my work" for the quizzes. (These are ignored with .gitignore until the course is over or until the quizzes are "over"; can't have anyone cheating, after all.)
  • example-data-analysis-assignment - Leek's example data analysis project; basically a reference implementation for the student projects.

"Why didn't someone tell me...?"
