For my second course, I am taking DTSC 650 Data Analytics in R. It’s the second course on utilizing the programming language R.
✍🏿 Here’s a description of the course:
Continuation of DTSC 550, with an emphasis on statistical techniques most used in modern data science. Will explore in greater depth linear and logistic regression, and continue to additional regression and classification techniques with a focus on application. Analyses will be completed in R.
This course will actually have two homework assignments I need to turn in, 6 exams, and a final project. Unlike the first course, which only had quizzes for a final grade.
The book we are using is free and located here. There’s a newer edition and I don’t understand why we’re not using it, but whatever. The book has lots of practice so far with great examples for the visualizations. I also like the exercise practice questions.
💯 Final Project / 🔥 Summary
- I can’t even begin to talk about what the project entails. It’s a BEAST. I have been so busy with work and coordinating my new job, I planned to do it over this past weekend but it just wasn’t enough time. A lot of switching between pdfs and research and critical thinking on each problem. I asked for an incomplete due to me having to move countries. They are giving me until next week to complete it. I SO appreciate it!

Also, I’m looking for an internship in the fall of 2023 to get real world experience, so if you’re hiring, let me know elyse@data.gal! I want to move towards finance so quantitative research is what I’m targeting.
Stay tuned for the next course which will be DTSC 560 Data Science for Business: This course explores the various ways data and science can be applied to business contexts. Particular emphasis will be placed on decision using data to make informed business decisions. The course does not start until May 15th so I will be on break from school until then.
