Open Data – Open Science – Data science
Our era of data – larger than ever and complex like chaos – requires several skills from statisticians and other data scientists.
We must discover the patterns hidden behind numbers in matrices and arrays. We are not afraid of coding, recoding, programming, or modelling. We want to visualize, analyze, interpret, understand, and communicate. These are the core themes of Open Data Science (Open Data – Open Science – Data Science). And this course is THE course for learning these skills.
General learning objective:
After completing this course you will understand the principles and advantages of using open research tools with open data and understand the possibilities of reproducible research. You will know how to use R, RStudio, RMarkdown, and GitHub for these tasks and also know how to learn more of these open software tools. You will also know how to apply certain statistical methods of data science, that is, data-driven statistics.
