Software capabilities will be covered with R® receiving particular emphasis. The course will also cover the basics of record linkage and statistical matching—both of which are becoming more important as ways of combining data from different sources.

You will learn about differences in the legal requirements in different countries....

This is the 1 of the 2 worst course I have done in Coursera. The instructional material that are very poor and nearly immpossible to follow. The courses in this specialisation run by other instructors are much better.

Unfortunately, I don't feel like I am learning enough, and I do not have the confidence I thought I would when I saw the course.
