ChatGPT For Data Analytics Full Course
ChatGPT For Data Analytics Full Course
Goal: Learn to use ChatGPT for data analytics to save time (up to 20 hours per week).
Applications: Analyzing spreadsheets, visualizations, advanced analytics, and machine
learning.
Harvard Study: People using ChatGPT completed tasks 25% faster with a 40% increase
in quality.
2. Course Structure
Chapters:
1. Setting up ChatGPT and understanding basic prompts.
2. Building a project using advanced data analysis features.
3. Understanding analytics fundamentals and visualization best practices.
4. Advanced prompt techniques to prevent "hallucinations."
5. Using GPTs, plugins, and browsing capabilities.
6. Finding public datasets and data extraction techniques.
3. Setting Up ChatGPT
4. Prompting Basics
Components: Use both context (background information) and task (desired output) for
clear prompts.
Examples:
o Simple (explain to a child in Dr. Seuss style) vs. complex (academic explanation).
Customization: Use ChatGPT’s custom instructions for consistent responses aligned
with your style and tone.
Settings: Customize tone, enable plugins and advanced data analysis, and configure
privacy settings.
Security Tip: Disable chat history for confidential data if not using Enterprise.
Data Insights: Perform statistical summaries for numerical and categorical data.
EDA Visualizations: Commonly use bar charts, line charts, pie charts, and scatter plots
for different insights.
Data Cleanup: Fix issues like inconsistent values in columns (e.g., spaces in location
names).
8. Building Visualizations
Types of Visualizations:
o Bar Chart: Compare categorical data (e.g., top 10 skills for data analyst roles).
o Line Chart: Track trends over time (e.g., monthly job postings).
o Pie Chart: Show proportions (e.g., percentage of remote jobs).
o Scatter Plot: Identify relationships between numerical variables (e.g., salary vs.
experience).
Tools: Uses Seaborn and Matplotlib in Python for creating visuals within ChatGPT.
Example Project: Use a dataset of job postings to predict salary based on attributes like
location, job title, and platform.
Models Used: Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Linear Regression.
Error Measurement: Use Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) to gauge model accuracy.
Testing the Model: Compare predictions to real-world data (e.g., salaries on Glassdoor).
Internet Access: ChatGPT's data analysis plugin cannot access online data sources
(databases, APIs, Google Sheets).
File Size Limit: Max upload is 512 MB per file, up to a 2 GB total dataset limit.
Data Security: For confidential data, use ChatGPT Enterprise (SOC 2 compliant) for
safer handling of proprietary information.
Statistics Basics: Learn average, median, percentiles, unique values, and frequency for
both numerical and categorical data.
Advanced Visualizations: How to select appropriate visuals for different types of
analysis.
Four Types of Analytics:
o Descriptive, Diagnostic, Predictive, and Prescriptive, applied to real-world use
cases.
This course provides a comprehensive guide to using ChatGPT in data analytics, covering setup,
prompt engineering, data exploration, visualization, machine learning, and handling limitations
effectively.
