The course involved using programming language R for analyzing data. Examples like analyzing the individual performances of a baseball team to come up with number of scores or selecting type of members with specific features which can guarantee win.Other examples included studying historical records of hospital patients to identify whether patient under study will suffer from a particular diseases and so on.The course also covers prescriptive analytics for decision making given scenarios.The course introduced me into the world of scientific analysis and how it can be used for computing daily activity and drive those information for decision making and enhancement study.
