Data Science

Courses & Tutorials Only

What is this?
Excerpt from site: This is a graduate economics seminar taught by Grant McDermott at the University of Oregon.

Please read the syllabus before you go through any of the lectures. This will detail software requirements and installation, and give you a better sense of the aims and scope of the course. I also have an “FAQ” section at the end that covers frequently asked questions (or, at least, potentially asked questions). Speaking of which, here follow answers to some questions that are more specifically related to this repo.

Data Science for Psychologists: A Refreshed Exploratory & Graphical Data Analysis in R

By S. Mason Garrison

Added Fri Apr 28th, 2023

What is this?
Excerpt from site: This website is designed to accompany Mason Garrison’s Data Science for Psychologists (DS4P). DS4P is a graduate-level quantitative methods course at Wake Forest University. This class assumes zero knowledge of programming, computer science, linear algebra, probability, or really anything fancy. I encourage anyone who is quant-curious to work their way through these course notes. The course notes include lectures, worked examples, readings, activities, and labs.

Data Wrangling in the Tidyverse

By Nick Huntington-Klein

Date added Fri AprMay 5th, 2023

What is this?
Excerpt from the site: This video series covers the basics of data wrangling using the tidyverse, aimed at my data communications class. I assume some very, very basic R background, but really not much.

This is a simplified and adapted version of my data wrangling workshops, which are available in full on my channel for tidyverse (R), data.table (R), and pandas (Python).
