Modeling Climate Anomalies with Statistical Analysis

This course introduces the use of statistical analysis in Python programming to study and model climate data, specifically with the SciPy and NumPy package. Topics include data visualization, predictive model development, simple linear regression, multivariate linear regression, multivariate linear regression with interaction, and logistic regression. Strong emphasis will be placed on gathering and analyzing climate data with the Python programming language. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. The degree offers targeted courses, short 8-week sessions, and pay-as-you-go tuition. Admission is based on performance in three preliminary courses, not academic history. CU degrees on Coursera are ideal for recent graduates or working professionals. Learn more: MS in Data Science: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/master-of-science-data-science-boulder
