COURSE 2
Mastering Data Analysis in Excel

Subtitles English
About the Course

Important: The focus of this course is on math - specically, data-analysis concepts and methods - not on Excel for its own sake. We use
Excel to do our calculations, and all math formulas are given as Excel Spreadsheets, but we do not attempt to cover Excel Macros, Visual
Basic, Pivot Tables, or other intermediate-to-advanced Excel functionality.
This course will prepare you to design and implement realistic predictive models based on data. In the Final Project (module 6) you will
assume the role of a business data analyst for a bank, and develop two dierent predictive models to determine which applicants for
credit cards should be accepted and which rejected. Your rst model will focus on minimizing default risk, and your second on
maximizing bank prots. The two models should demonstrate to you in a practical, hands-on way the idea that your choice of business
metric drives your choice of an optimal model.
The second big idea this course seeks to demonstrate is that your data-analysis results cannot and should not aim to eliminate all
uncertainty. Your role as a data-analyst is to reduce uncertainty for decision-makers by a nancially valuable increment, while
quantifying how much uncertainty remains. You will learn to calculate and apply to real-world examples the most important uncertainty
measures used in business, including classication error rates, entropy of information, and condence intervals for linear regression.
All the data you need is provided within the course, all assignments are designed to be done in MS Excel, and you will learn enough
Excel to complete all assignments. The course will give you enough practice with Excel to become uent in its most commonly used
business functions, and youll be ready to learn any other Excel functionality you might need in the future (module 1).
The course does not cover Visual Basic or Pivot Tables and you will not need them to complete the assignments. All advanced concepts
are demonstrated in individual Excel spreadsheet templates that you can use to answer relevant questions. You will emerge with
substantial vocabulary and practical knowledge of how to apply business data analysis methods based on binary classication (module
2), information theory and entropy measures (module 3), and linear regression (module 4 and 5), all using no software tools more
complex than Excel.

BinaryClassification
Separating collections into two categories, such as buy this stock, dont but that stock or target this customer with a special oer, but
not that one is the ultimate goal of most business data-analysis projects. There is a specialized vocabulary of measures for comparing
and optimizing the performance of the algorithms used to classify collections into two groups. You will learn how and why to apply
these dierent metrics, including how to calculate the all-important AUC: the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)
Curve.

InformationMeasures
In this module, you will learn how to calculate and apply the vitally useful uncertainty metric known as entropy. In contrast to the more
familiar probability that represents the uncertainty that a single outcome will occur, entropy quanties the aggregate uncertainty of
all possible outcomes. The entropy measure provides the framework for accountability in data-analytic work. Entropy gives you the
power to quantify the uncertainty of future outcomes relevant to your business twice: using the best-available estimates before you
begin a project, and then again after you have built a predictive model. The dierence between the two measures is the Information
Gain contributed by your work.

LinearRegression
The Linear Correlation measure is a much richer metric for evaluating associations than is commonly realized. You can use it to quantify
how much a linear model reduces uncertainty. When used to forecast future outcomes, it can be converted into a point estimate plus
a condence interval, or converted into an information gain measure. You will develop a uent knowledge of these concepts and the
many valuable uses to which linear regression is put in business data analysis. This module also teaches how to use the Central Limit
Theorem (CLT) to solve practical problems. The two topics are closely related because regression and the CLT both make use of a
special family of probability distributions called Gaussians. You will learn everything you need to know to work with Gaussians in these
and other contexts.

AdditionalSkillsforModelBuilding
This module gives you additional valuable concepts and skills related to building high-quality models. As you know, a model is a
description of a process applied to available data (inputs) that produces an estimate of a future and as yet unknown outcome as output.
Very often, models for outputs take the form of a probability distribution. This module covers how to estimate probability distributions
from data (a probability histogram), and how to describe and generate the most useful probability distributions used by data
scientists. It also covers in detail how to develop a binary classication model with parameters optimized to maximize the AUC, and how
to apply linear regression models when your input consists of multiple types of data for each event. The module concludes with an
explanation of over-tting which is the main reason that apparently good predictive models often fail in real life business settings. We
conclude with some tips for how you can avoid over-tting in you own predictive model for the nal project and in real life.

About the Course

About the Course

One of the skills that characterizes great business data analysts is the ability to communicate practical implications of quantitative
analyses to any kind of audience member. Even the most sophisticated statistical analyses are not useful to a business if they do not
lead to actionable advice, or if the answers to those business questions are not conveyed in a way that non-technical people can
understand.
In this course you will learn how to become a master at communicating business-relevant implications of data analyses. By the end,
you will know how to structure your data analysis projects to ensure the fruits of your hard labor yield results for your stakeholders.
You will also know how to streamline your analyses and highlight their implications eciently using visualizations in Tableau, the most
popular visualization program in the business world. Using other Tableau features, you will be able to make eective visualizations that
harness the human brains innate perceptual and cognitive tendencies to convey conclusions directly and clearly. Finally, you will be
practiced in designing and persuasively presenting business data stories that use these visualizations, capitalizing on business-tested
methods and design principles.

QueriestoExtractDatafromSingleTables
Welcome to week 2! This week, you will start interacting with business databases. You will write SQL queries that query data from two
real companies. One data set, donated from a local start-up in Durham, North Carolina called Dognition, is a MySQL database
containing tables of over 1 million rows. The other data set, donated from a national US department store chain called Dillards, is a
Teradata database containing tables with over a hundred million rows. By the end of the week, you will be able to:1. Use two dierent
database user interfaces2. Write queries to verify and describe all the contents of the Dognition MySQL database and the Dillards
Teradata database3. Retrieve data that meet specic criteria in a socially-responsible using SELECT, FROM, WHERE, LIMIT, and TOP
clauses, and4. Format the data you retrieve using aliases, DISTINCT clauses, and ORDER BY clauses.Make sure to watch the instructional
videos about how to use the database interfaces we have established for this course, and complete both the MySQL and the Teradata
exercises. At the end of the week, you will test your understanding of the SQL syntax introduced this week by completing the Week 2
graded quiz.To get started, please begin with the video Introduction to Week 2. As always, if you have any questions, post them to the
Discussions. Enjoy this week's materials!

QueriestoSummarizeGroupsofDatafromMultipleTables
Welcome to week 3! This week, we are going to learn the SQL syntax that allows you to segment your data into separate categories and
segment. We are also going to learn how to combine data stored in separate tables.
Summarize values across entire columns, and break those summaries up according to specic variables or values in others
columns using GROUP BY and HAVING clauses
Combine information from multiple tables using inner and outer joins
Use strategies to manage joins between tables with duplicate rows, many-to-many relationships, and atypical congurations
Practice one of the slightly more challenging use cases of aggregation functions, and
Work with the Dognition database to learn more about how MySQL handles mismatched aggregation levels.
Make sure to watch the videos about joins, and complete both the MySQL and the Teradata exercises. At the end of the week, you will
test your understanding of the SQL syntax introduced this week by completing the Week 3 graded quiz.
We strongly encourage you to use the course Discussions to help each other with questions.

QueriestoAddressMoreDetailedBusinessQuestions
Welcome to week 4, the nal week of Managing Big Data with MySQL! This week you will practice integrating the SQL syntax youve learn
so far into queries that address analysis questions typical of those you will complete as a business data analyst.

Introduce logical conditions into your queries using IF and CASE statements
Implement analyses that accommodate missing data or data mistakes, and
Write complex queries that incorporate many tables and clauses.
By the end of this week you will feel condent claiming that you know how to write SQL queries to create business value. Due to the
extensive nature of the queries we will practice this week, we have put the graded quiz that tests your understanding of the SQL
strategies you will practice in its own week rather than including it in this weeks materials.
Make sure to complete both the MySQL exercises and the Teradata exercises, and we strongly encourage you to use the course
Discussions to help each other with questions.

About the Capstone Project

In this nal course you will complete a Capstone Project using data analysis to recommend a method for improving prots for your
company, Watershed Property Management, Inc. Watershed is responsible for managing thousands of residential rental properties
throughout the United States. Your job is to persuade Watersheds management team to pursue a new strategy for managing its
properties that will increase their prots. To do this, you will: (1) Elicit information about important variables relevant to your analysis;
(2) Draw upon your new MySQL database skills to extract relevant data from a real estate database; (3) Implement data analysis in Excel
to identify the best opportunities for Watershed to increase revenue and maximize prots, while managing any new risks; (4) Create a
Tableau dashboard to show Watershed executives the results of a sensitivity analysis; and (5) Articulate a signicant and innovative
business process change for Watershed based on your data analysis, that you will recommend to company executives.
Airbnb, our Capstones ocial Sponsor, provided input on the project design. The top 10 Capstone completers each year will have the
opportunity to present their work directly to senior data scientists at Airbnb live for feedback and discussion.
"Note: Only learners who have passed the four previous courses in the specialization are eligible to take the Capstone."
