Data Management and Visualization

Data is increasingly important to your success, whether it's used to personalize advertising for millions of people or to streamline inventory ordering in a small restaurant. We often don't know how to use data to answer the questions that will help us be more successful in our work. This course will help you understand data and what your questions are that can be answered with data. You will be able to create a research question based on existing data and describe variables and their relationships. Calculate basic statistics and present your findings clearly. You will learn how to use powerful data analysis tools, either SAS or Python, to visualize and manage your data. This includes dealing with missing data, variable groupings, graphs, and other issues. You will be able to share your progress with other students to get valuable feedback and learn from your peers how they use data to answer their questions.
