Computational Bayesian Statistics for Data Science
This course equips learners with the theoretical knowledge and computational skills needed to implement modern Bayesian statistical methods in real-world settings. By completing the course, learners will be able to build and fit Bayesian models, apply computational algorithms for posterior inference, and interpret uncertainty in complex data analysis problems. Topics include maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation, rejection sampling, and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods such as the Gibbs sampler and Metropolis-Hastings algorithms. Learners will also gain hands-on experience using Stan, o

Ordered Data Structures
In this course, you will learn new data structures for efficiently storing and retrieving data that is structured in an ordered sequence. Such data includes an alphabetical list of names, a family tree, a calendar of events or an inventory organized by part numbers. The specific data structures covered by this course include arrays, linked lists, queues, stacks, trees, binary trees, AVL trees, B-trees and heaps. This course also shows, through algorithm complexity analysis, how these structures enable the fastest algorithms to search and sort data.
