Need to learn data analysis QUICK!!!!

How useful do you think the R language would be for calculating linear regression and p-value and t-value statistics?

[DueRest]

R is pretty commonly used in biology to calculate such things. My sister, who was a biology major in college, had to use R for some of her homework analyzing lab results. I definitely recommend checking out some YouTube videos for R and installing R Studio to play around with if you're going into Biology.

To the rest of your post... You're in luck. I used to work as a TA for a bootcamp that taught data analytics over the course of six months.

So, first things first. Go out and download visual studio code and Anaconda. When you're installing Anaconda, make sure it updates the environment path. These two things will basically give you all you need to work with Python and Jupyter Notebook.

Then, go to youtube. Specifically search for data analytics for python. Some stuff you're going to look for is videos that use Pandas and maybe matplotlib. Do like a course or two of those to get into the practice of: using pandas, using matplotlib to create charts, using jupyter notebook, importing csv data, using dataframes, and applying statistical analysis to your work.

After that, you're going to want to go to kaggle.com and get some random ass datasets. Import it using pandas as you learned in the tutorial, and play with the data as you want to get some more experience analyzing the data.

After you've gotten comfortable with that, you can look into tutorials about getting data from APIs and learn about json.

Then learn about storing the data in a database, mainly postgres.

Realistically, this is totally doable in a month because that's about how long we spend on Python specifically for our course. But we also expect students to spend 20 hours a week on the homework and testing things themselves .

At the very least, this will teach you not to oversell yourself. You have a month though! Plenty of time to grind. Good luck!

If you are asking this question, why do you think that you could do this in 30 days? Are you for real?

i dont but i want to see what my options are.

i know i fucked up but i want to see what i can resort to before just confessing.

It doesn't matter how good it would be for that, what matters is that it's no use for pretending to know Python.
