Overview
The Doing Clinical Research - Biostatistics with the Wolfram Language offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Cape Town follows the approach of learning statistical analysis through the use of a computer language. It requires no prior knowledge of coding.
An exciting journey awaits. If you want even more, there are optional Honors lessons on machine learning that cover the support in the Wolfram Language for deep learning.
Key facts

- There are powerful tools readily available to achieve these goals. None are quite as easy to learn, yet as powerful to use, as the Wolfram Language. Knowledge is literally built into the language.
- With its well-structured and consistent approach to creating code, you will become an expert in no time.
