Be a Part of the Data-Driven Future of Business

Is machine learning shaping the future of your profession?

While data has always been used in business, things have changed. Functions like HR, Product Management, Customer Service, etc. are embracing advanced analytics to drive better business outcomes.

Do you want to be a part of this data-driven future?

It’s hard to avoid all the social media posts, magazine articles, or news clips trumpeting how machine learning is permanently changing the way organizations operate – and changing the expectations of employers.

Do you think your lack of programming skills will hold you back?

While you might not thing of it this way, Excel users write code every day. Make no mistake, this is Excel programming code:

=AVERAGE(table_name[column_name])

Learning R programming is easy!

Your skills with Excel 100% map to R. If you use Excel functions like AVERAGE and IF, you can code in R. This is the R equivalent of the Excel code to the left:

mean(table_name$column_name)

Do you think your lack of math skills will hold you back?

By focusing on the right machine learning techniques, ANY professional can learn to apply machine learning to their business data. You start with concepts and intuition. You tackle the math later if you need it.

Machine learning for ANY professional

Imagine a Product Manager that could answer the following question with data, "What feature usage(s) are highly predictive of a sticky customer?" How much value are they bringing to their employer?

First, I'd like to thank Dave for the great effort he put on this course (Introduction to Machine Learning With R). For an introductory course, I found it very detailed and well explained. The methods he uses on teaching are just awesome and that makes the course way too easy to understand.
Dave is also very responsive and that just adds to the awesomeness. I honestly can't wait to take more courses with him. Also, the things you learn in this course are highly applicable in real life, and he makes the math to be so easy. If you are a beginner in this field, then this is the right place. If you are an experienced data scientist trying to do a refresher course, this is the right place too.
Keep up the good work Dave, I'm inspired. Thank you.

This was very informative and eye opening!

I’m a daily Excel user but novice R user and I wish I had learned with this Excel-R mapping mindset from the beginning.

I’ll definitely be signing up for the full course.
