TRANSCRIPT

Hello world, and thanks for joining me. My name is Mohit Deshpande and in this course we'll be learning all about data analysis so were going to do some really neat things with some very, very real world data. We're gonna learn how we can plot our data, we're gonna learn how we can clean our data, and we're gonna learn how to do a little bit of machine learning. We're gonna learn how to do linear regression on top of our dataset to learn a line of best fit. So, we're gonna be covering all of these topics. So, like I mentioned, we're gonna learn how to take very real data, this is flight data, taken from domestic flights in the United States, in the year, across the year 2017, this is the data that I collected and it's a very real dataset we're gonna be working with. We're gonna learn how to do kinds of data cleaning, so how do we handle dealing with the appropriate data types or columns, how do we deal with missing or null values.

We'll get a little bit into how we do kinds of plotting, how we do line plots, and how we do histograms of our data so we can get a better feel for what our data actually look like. I'll be giving you a very brief introduction to statistics. We'll cover what statistics is, a little bit about mean and standard deviation, and then we'll get into inferential statistics and linear regression. I'll show you how we can compute the line of best fit using linear regression as well as how we can determine how good is that line of best fit. We've been making courses since 2012 and we're super excited to have you on board.

All my courses are a fantastic way to learn new skills, and I take a lot of online courses myself. Zenva courses consist mainly of video lessons that you can watch and re-watch as many times as you want, at your own pace. We also have downloadable source code and project files including everything that we build during the lessons. It's highly recommended that you code along. In my experience that's the best way to learn a new topic, is to get your feet wet, get your hands dirty with the code. And lastly we've seen the students who get the most out of these online courses are those that stick with it and make some kind of weekly plan. Depending of course on your own availability and learning style. So Zenva, over the past six years or so, has taught all different kinds of topics on programming and game development to over 300 thousand students over a hundred courses. The skills that are learned in these courses are completely transferable to other domains. In fact some of the students have used the skills they've learned to advance their own careers, to make a startup, or to publish ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r8ldkgFW40
