Program Overview
Data Science is about solving problems and making decisions with data. Statistics provides a foundation for extrapolating from features in data to more general patterns and quantifying the uncertainty in the conclusions one draws. The Statistical Learning certificate builds understanding and skills in core data science tools and how to assess their strengths and weaknesses.
