Claude Code is an AI tool that runs in the command line and works directly inside your project. It can open and read your data files and scripts, propose suitable statistical methods, and write or change code in place. There is no more copying code back and forth between a chat window and your editor.
In this course, participants use Claude Code with R or Python to work through a complete data analysis, from importing raw data to finished figures. The example datasets come from several fields, and the steps carry over to most kinds of data, whether in business, research, or your own projects. Short presentations and live demonstrations alternate with hands-on exercises on a training server, with time for questions throughout. Participants leave with a working setup for their own analyses and practical experience of where the tool helps and where its output needs careful checking.
