Finally, a channel that addresses data analytics in details! Thank you for starting this channel! Or put it the other way - I am happy that I found your channel!
Hello Alex! Thank you for your awesome videos as always. This was me some years back...we were practically doing all the data cleaning/prep/EDA and simply called it QA. I had no idea until very recently that this is one of the most crucial stages in the DA /DS process! The only thing back then was that I would ask over and over again what all the data we captured through all those expensive sensors would be used for and EVERYONE said they had no idea, only that they knew it would be in a database, end of story! Now that I know about data science and its sub-fields, it's all making sense to me now.
Thanks for making a video on this topic! Im currently majoring in statistics, so good to know that this course you recommended is inline with the stuff I've been learning!
Lucky you! I thought that I would never meet statistics again after my last exams while I was in school some years back. We were never told its real-life applications, so we all disliked it with such passion! Self-learning is what is currently making me gain an appreciation for it. The very best of luck to you; and what an auspicious time to be majoring in it in school!
Hey Alex! As usual, I followed your advice and enrolled in this course. Nothing but great content. Although I had to deal with statistics during my studies, this course is really helpful to brush up important topics and is explained really good. I do Really appreciate your videos, thanks a lot!
Hi Alex! This was great info. I know you dislike bootcamps but I joined one lol I was overwhelmed with trying to get the info I needed streamlined. I’m actually about to start learning statistics in the program but I want to learn a bit before I start. Thanks
Hi Alex, How are you?? I remembered asking you this question last year. And you didn't have any proper recommendations then. But I undertook this Udemy course. It is really very fantastic. I must say this is the best course. Also, I want you to have a look at Mavel Analytics online course, which is a complete package of Excel, Tableau, SQL and PowerBI. Right now, I am undertaking this course and enjoying it a lot. Thanks, Veena
Hey Veena, it's very possible I just wasn't making recommendations on this topic at the time. I can't remember exactly why I wouldn't, but could be the case. And that's great to hear!
Great video - but have to admit after watching it that I'm not really buying into the idea that "anyone" can learn this. That formula you shared looked super intense and I've never done anything nearly that complex. Is basic high-school algebra enough to get someone going in this or should there be something before this?
hi alex, I want to know if this course is enough for working as a data analysis? Do I need to learn more ? If I do, what kind of areas I need to go through? Great video! thanks a lot🥰
Hey Alex, I often watch your videos because they help me a lot, but I think analytical thinking is also important, could you talk about how to improve analytical thinking? Thank you so much!
Alex you seem to have studied hundreds of courses for your DA role mehnnnn. How did you study all those? Did you make notes or did you just to memorize as much as possible?
I have taken a lot... I went through a huge course phase for about a year lol and I did take some notes, but for most of the things I wrote queries and scripts and saved those with comments onto an external hard drive so I had all my learning in one place.
I failed AP Statistics in High School, thought I would never use it again lol now I'm learning p value and realized the answer closer to 0 is the greater value haha, Ex. (P value) 0.65 < (alpha) 0.05
Thank you for sharing this. Although i personally like udemy as a general idea, everything i found to be usefull on udemy had a completely free course on youtube too. Either for Python, C#, Java, Javascript, Data Analysis, Excel and such. So from my personal point of view udemy really needs youtuber to promote them, because it's youtuber who are the biggest threat to their business modell. You can actually find whole university lectures on youtube for free and if that's not helpfull i don't know what is. Also in combination with a couple of more practical videos like the ones you are providing i can't find real use in paying udemy for something that i can have 1:1 for free on youtube and often from people who know better than the guys on udemy.

Hello Alex, Thank you so much for the helpful content. It's been helping quite a lot for me. Nonetheless, I just tried a couple of times the COUPON you've put in the video description, but that didn't work for me all... Could you please confirm if it's still valid?
Will this course be good for managers leading a group of data analysts. I need to quickly get up to speed and have some form of a refresher since the last time i deal with statistics was 10 years ago. Thanks.
I just completed this course along with SQL ( again one of your recommended one ). I do have experience working on advanced excel. what should be my next course of action to be able to apply for a experienced data analyst role....like what projects and from where.... Please guide
@@mohitabrol5858 if you can stretch with minimum breaks and also taking notes along..shouldn't take you more than 2-3 days..However, I suggest taking detail notes for future references. The concepts are easy to understand but at the same time easily forgettable. Plan your way out
Nice video again! Just a random question are doing “side projects” as important for getting a data analyst job compared to something like a software developer
@@mathewsjoy8464 Sure! Ask around at your company (or people who work at a company) and ask them what kind of data sources and tools they use. Figuring out what the community you want to be involved in uses will help to target toolsets you might choose. I work for myself now, but the company I did work for used lots of R, Tableau, Python, etc. Data crunching tool choices were up to the individual in many cases, but data viz was standardized. Data sources came from all manner of in house and external sources.
Personally, I would say just the very basics. At least to start. Stuff that you would learn in something like an "Intro to Statistics" class/course. Anything beyond that will depend on who you work for, the data your analyzing, etc. You definitely don't have to memorize the formulas or anything that deep (there are plenty of free cheat sheets out there anyway) as the actual formulas are built into functions that you can call and apply to your data. The big thing is understanding what the concepts are, what they mean, and the different real-world situations in which each of those concepts would be useful or--equally important--not useful. Analytics is about telling a story with data. Unfortunately, organizations and individuals will skew analytical results to further their own agendas. Knowing how numerical figures and analyses are calculated, and what those analyses mean, can go a long way towards data literacy. Possessing a high level of data literacy and avoiding statistical biases, I think, are incredibly important in analytics.

Only if you buy them at "Full price" - if you buy on the discounts you can get one for 10 dollars and spend a whole month on the course which would be cheaper than coursera. Just depends on how many courses you buy.
Hello Alex, I have a diploma in business Administration. Do you think I can qualify for a Bachelor’s degree in statistics or are there short courses that can lead me to that? If yes... what are the requirements for the short courses and how long are they?
Is the code still valid anyone who has signed up recently? Should I take this course as a prep course for Certified Analytics Professional (CAP) if I don't have a Stat background?
Not sure if you’ve addressed this before in another video but what if you’re like terrible at math, like barely got through secondary school taking math?
@@AlexTheAnalyst i’ve worked as a data analyst without using any of these concepts in my previous firm. Would this course help me get a job as a senior data analyst? Also does it consist of A/B testing for business analysis? Thanks

awesome topic alex! been googling "best sources for statistics" for awhile and happy to see you made a vid on the topic. much appreciated!
Thank you! Thanks for watching :D
Digging your channel. All your info is really straightforward. Can you put a video together covering hardware requirements and preferences?

I'm so glad to hear that! I enjoyed it myself so I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
I get so many questions on this. Thanks Alex! This isn't an easy find and there's no automatic answer like Andrew Ng ML course. Very helpful.
I agree! There aren’t many good ones that I’ve found so this one is a gem 😁
@@AlexTheAnalyst it's easy to just default to, "Well this one has a 4.7 rating on Udemy so it must be the best..."
Wow! I have gotten a mentor for my data analytics career.

So, statistic for data analyst and data science are the same thing?

Hey Alex, do you have any recommended book for statistics?
You recommend any course for medical statistics. I am a doctor and i want to use statistics for research purposes
For someone who’s is interested in BI/BA how much stats would you say to learn ?

12 to 17
Hi Alex,Can you share a new code ?
Not sure if you’ve addressed this before in another video but what if you’re like terrible at math, like barely got through secondary school taking math?
As a statistic student.which programming language is best R or Python?
R
Will this course provide me all the knowledge i need to know about statistics in data analytics field?
Definitely for any entry level jobs for sure. It goes pretty in depth though and covers a lot of great stuff I use even at my level

hi alex, what is the best way to study using the course? i struggle memorizing formulas for a long time and was wondering if you took notes or just listened to the instructor.
I brought up my own excel and walked through them myself while he went through it. I think that's the best way in my opinion :)
The coupon is not working 😢
Sorry to hear that! Try googling for some others - I know there are others out there that will work. That was just one that worked for me.
Open the link in an incognito window and you should automatically get the discount.
I really hate math where i had to taken it 3 times in community college thats how bad I am
that coupon code didnt work lol
if anybody knows the coupon, please do share
Can you pls start a series on Salesforce admin course
the coupon doesn't work :(
