Experienced data scientist and enterprise manager Joanne Rodrigues-Craig presents statistical techniques to determine why things happen, and how to change what people do at scale.

You'll learn through intuitive examples from both web products and "real life," including numeric examples illuminating hypothesis testing, regression, and other statistical techniques.
