Introduction to Bayesian Statistics for Data Science
This course introduces the theoretical, philosophical, and mathematical foundations of Bayesian Statistical inference. Students will learn to apply this foundational knowledge to real-world data science problems. Topics include the use and interpretations of probability theory in Bayesian inference; Bayes’ theorem for statistical parameters; conjugate, improper, and objective priors distributions; data science applications of Bayesian inference; and ethical implications of Bayesian statistics. 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. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.

Leading from Within
There is an important difference between leading from without and leading from within: the way decisions are made. Those who lead from without make moral decisions based on external pressure or the opinions of others rather than on the basis of deeply held personal values and beliefs. When they speak about moral issues they do so without authenticity and inspire doubt rather than confidence in their followers. Those who lead from within have deeply held personal values and beliefs and courageously make decisions based on those convictions. They have a clear sense of purpose in their own lives and inspire a clear sense of purpose and direction in others. This course will provide tools and insights that will help you successfully lead from within at the personal, organizational, and societal levels.

Build Decision Trees, SVMs, and Artificial Neural Networks
There are numerous types of machine learning algorithms, each of which has certain characteristics that might make it more or less suitable for solving a particular problem. Decision trees and support-vector machines (SVMs) are two examples of algorithms that can both solve regression and classification problems, but which have different applications. Likewise, a more advanced approach to machine learning, called deep learning, uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) to solve these types of problems and more. Adding all of these algorithms to your skillset is crucial for selecting the best tool for the job. This fourth and final course within the Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner (CAIP) professional certificate continues on from the previous course by introducing more, and in some cases, more advanced algorithms used in both machine learning and deep learning. As before, you'll build multiple models that can solve business problems, and you'll do so within a workflow. Ultimately, this course concludes the technical exploration of the various machine learning algorithms and how they can be used to build problem-solving models.

Pricing Options with Mathematical Models
This is an introductory course on options and other financial derivatives, and their applications to risk management. We will start with defining derivatives and options, continue with discrete-time, binomial tree models, and then develop continuous-time, Brownian Motion models. A basic introduction to Stochastic, Ito Calculus will be given. The benchmark model will be the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, but we will also discuss more general models, such as stochastic volatility models. We will discuss both the Partial Differential Equations approach, and the probabilistic, martingale approach. We will also cover an introduction to modeling of interest rates and fixed income derivatives. I teach the same class at Caltech, as an advanced undergraduate class. This means that the class may be challenging, and demand serious effort. On the other hand, successful completion of the class will provide you with a full understanding of the standard option pricing models, and will enable you to study the subject further on your own, or otherwise. Prerequisites. A basic knowledge of calculus based probability/statistics. Some exposure to stochastic processes and partial differential equations is helpful, but not mandatory. It is strongly recommended you take the prerequisites test available in Unit 0, to see if your mathematical background is strong enough for successfully completing the course. If you get less than 70% on the test, it may be more useful to work further on your math skills before taking this course. Or you can just do a part of the course.

Creating a Team Culture of Continuous Learning
There is mounting concern that organizational groups and teams often fail to learn from their past experiences. It’s pertinent to address this issue as groups and teams are often the main ways that work gets done in organizations. In this course, we examine the main reasons that groups and teams are often ineffective, which include: • The lack of organizational structures and support for teams and groups • The lack of understanding and emphasis on learning • Misaligned reward structures So, what can be done to create an enabling learning culture in teams? This course emphasizes practical and impactful ways to begin to address this state of affairs. Through the use of stories, scenarios with actors simulating different team issues, examples and dialogue, you learn how to: • Understand teams in their larger organizational context • Diagnose the learning strengths and barriers to learning on teams • Identify ways to develop a team and group that continually learns and impacts the larger organization positively • Create an organizational environment that encourages learning and innovation

Empathy In Customer Service To Make Customers Feed Cared For
Give better and more personalized care by learning how to use Cognitive Empathy and Emotional Empathy. Make each customer feel special, and turn them into super-fans who stay loyal to your brand, and recommend your business to their friends. WHY EMPATHY You don't want to cut corners on your customer service because if a customer is reaching out to you for help, they are experiencing a pain point. They are also often in an heightened emotional state. If you neglect them in this situation or give minimal care and support, they will remember that next time they have to buy from you, and it might act as a deterrent. But if you give them truly caring customer service, they will remember that too, and they will trust your brand more, which might get them to remain as customers longer and buy more from you. LISTEN TO CUSTOMERS BETTER Most communication is non-verbal, so you'll also learn active listening techniques as well as elements of non-verbal communication. It will help you understand the needs of your customers sooner, which will enable you to provide them with better support! BE KNOWN FOR WORLD-CLASS CARE AND SUPPORT Use customer service as more than just something you have to do, but rather as an advantage by which you retain clients and win new clients through the recommendations of your existing customers. Invest in your future! Enroll today!
