This course is certainly not for beginners. So it cannot be an introduction to data science. You need to have strong foundation in R and statistics in order to be able to follow the course. I will get back to it, once I improve the other skills so I'll be able to take the most out of it.

Instructor Bio

I am principal at with the data science consulting firm Win-Vector LLC. Win-Vector LLC specializes in data science research, implementation, and training. I have over 10 years of experience in research, teaching, machine learning, and data science.

I am co-author of the popular book Practical Data Science with R, and I blog often on mathematics, programming, machine learning, and optimization on the Win-Vector blog.

My profesional experience includes managing a data science group for Shopping dot com (an eBay company), working in price optimization for Rapt (acquired by Microsoft), and apply machine learning at a web-scale for Kosmix (acquired by Walmart online). My original fields of study were mathematics (AB UC Berkeley) and computer science (Ph.D. Carnegie Mellon) with a heavy emphasis on probability theory.
