1. Final thoughts
Congratulations! You have completed the first course in statistical thinking.
2. You now can…
You can now use Python to construct instructive plots and informative summary statistics to explore your data. You have also built the intellectual and computational infrastructure to think probabilistically. You've accomplished a lot in a short time. Impressive!
The knowledge you learned in this course really shines when you directly apply it to statistical inference problems.
3. In the sequel, you will…
In the next course, you will work with real data sets in Python to infer parameter values by a variety of methods including linear regression. You will use hacker statistics to compute confidence intervals to help you couch the conclusions you draw from your data in the appropriate probabilistic language. You will perform hypothesis tests, such as A/B tests, to help you discern differences between data sets.
It's a great opportunity to use and expand upon what you learned in this first course in statistical thinking.
4. Let's practice!
I encourage you to take that opportunity! See you there!
