Interactive Data Visualization with Tableau

Interactive Data Visualization with Tableau

This course will teach you how to estimate descriptive quantities and sampling variances from complex surveys, and also how to fit linear and logistic regression models to complex sample survey data.

Overview

In this course you will learn about the interactive exploration of data, and how it is achieved using state-of-the-art data visualization software. You will learn to explore a range of different data types and structures, and about various interactive techniques for manipulating and examining data to produce effective visualizations. The learning process is hands-on as students are guided through an analysis of quantitative business data to discern meaningful patterns, trends, relationships, and exceptions that reveal business performance, potential problems and opportunities.
