Modern Statistical Thinking for Data Analytics and AI

A foundation to analyse data in a scientifically objective way

Statistical thinking is the key skill to analyse data in a scientifically objective way. This course introduces the key statistical and non-statistical concepts to develop modern statistical thinking. This is a foundational data analytics course.

Causal Inference for Data Analytics and AI

Foundations, assumptions and applications

Because most questions of interest are causal in their nature, it is important for data analysts and engineers to develop understanding about the key concepts to analyse cause-and-effect relationships. This is a foundational and thus a conceptual course.

Data Strategy, Analytics and AI
Which questions to ask and how to think to get to objective information

Data strategy is the key to successful data analytics because it is responsible for creating a database of high quality data. Together, they provide a foundation for development of advanced AI systems.

This course is about understanding trustworthiness of information produced by AI systems and the impact that quality of data has on credibility of advanced AI systems.

Statistical Thinking for Journalists
How to think about data and what it takes to analyse it in a scientifically objective way

This course introduces the key statistical and non-statistical concepts to develop modern statistical thinking, including, how to analyse cause-and-effect relationships. It is a must-do course for data journalist and journalists eager to understand what it takes to analyse data in a scientifically objective way.

Causal Inference with Observational Data for Impact Evaluations
Data requirements, methods and techniques

Most of today's data is observational. This course is a continuation of the course on causal inference, with focus on applications and thus the art of satisfying assumptions without which causal inference is mission impossible.

Causal Inference is the method of choice for impact evaluations, policy evaluations, evaluations of marketing interventions, clinical trials and many more.

Causal Inference is the foundation for analysing cause-and-effect relationships, designing experiments and analysing experimental data.

About our online courses

The courses are designed by following philosophy of experiential learning. The focus is to provide data practitioners (data analysts, data scientists, AI engineers and researchers) with strong foundations on what it takes to analyse data in a scientifically objective way, in particular cause-and-effect relationships. We provide practical advice and scientific references for further independent learning.

About course material

Different parts of the material were previously used for lectures, seminars and workshops at scientific conferences, business seminars and universities, such as University of Helsinki, Sigmund Freud University, Uppsala University and Tsinghua University. Some of the courses have been taught to master’s and doctoral students at University of Helsinki.

About instructor

Dr. Ana Kolar holds a PhD in Statistics with expertise in Causal inference and she is the creator of a new approach for developing modern statistical thinking. Ana is able to introduce complex topics in a simple manner and she is dedicated to an experiential educational approach. She holds a postgraduate qualification in tertiary teaching and learning and has over 20 years of international professional experience in the fields of academia, applied statistics and research. Her PhD advisor was Professor Donald B. Rubin from Harvard University – the father of modern causal inference approaches. Read more about Ana here.

READING CORNER

Do you wonder how statistics lies?

Statistics lies in presence of ignorance. By definition, ignorance means lack of knowledge, understanding, or information about something. Statistics lies when a person presenting statistical data lacks knowledge, understanding, or information about statistical-methodological techniques which enable one to analyse data in scientifically objective way. Although we live

A New Approach To Statistical Thinking

Statistical thinking is in need of a new approach due to recent developments of the modern statistical science. This new approach puts causal thinking at the heart of the key statistical thinking concepts, which reflects recent developments of modern statistical science in the field of causal inference
