Data Analysis with R

Korshub take

Duke University's specialization pairs R, one of the most respected languages in academic and applied statistics, with a genuinely rigorous statistical foundation — probability, Bayesian methods, and inference, not just point-and-click charting. More than 222,800 learners have taken it at the beginner level.

Who it's for

Aspiring data analysts or researchers who want statistical depth alongside coding skill, especially anyone heading toward roles that expect comfort with both descriptive and inferential statistics.

Key takeaways

• Descriptive statistics, probability distributions, and sampling technique
• Exploratory data analysis and statistical inference in R
• An introduction to Bayesian statistics alongside classical methods

Its beginner-level framing means no prior R experience is assumed, though comfort with basic math will help it click faster.
