It is a good overview of data analysis and I particularly like to see how the excel analysis is performed and how to interpret that result. However, a quick walkthrough of each of the three tables in the Summary Output from the Regression Analysis would be helpful. It seems that you will need to have the basic knowledge of business statistics to make the most of the course.

This was simple straight forward overview of the subject with a great simple illustration. We didn't get muddled down in the details of the illustrations. Really like the fact that the notes and examples were used effectively in the course.
Great job making a simple example explain many different issues with analyzing data. I particularly appreciated the Economic Significance section that went beyond just running the numbers.

I thought this course was good because the example was very illustrative. It was a relatable example and had easy to explain instances and a small sample size.

I'm not sure if I understand why the median is completely separated from any effect of outliers will have on data, that could be explained better

Excellent quick overview of the various statistical methods, although the name is slightly misleading, this has nothing to do with Big Data

Another great course, I would like to have more ppt with 1 or 2 examples per topic, to help me to understand better and how apply them.

Decent look into regression, sample size of the data was unrealistically small which took away from the learning possibilities.

The hands-on application of regression analysis, though simplified, was helpful in understanding how to interpret the results

I enjoyed this lecture more than several of the previous ones as it was less repetitive and more hands on and demonstrative.

Program was direct, short, and to the point. It was helpful, but for people with a strong stats background it was review.
