Statistical Inference

Statistical inference is a branch of statistics that is concerned with making predictions or conjectures about a population based on observed data from a sample of that population. Coursera's Statistical Inference catalogue teaches you how to make accurate and insightful predictions using data. You'll learn about hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression analysis, and more. This skill is crucial to many fields, including data science, economics, psychology, and more. By mastering Statistical Inference, you can design and analyze experiments, make data-driven decisions, and contribute to informed policy making. This knowledge can help you in roles such as a data analyst, data scientist, statistician, or researcher.
