The two master's programmes (MDNA and MASNA) are launching the “Data and Network Analytics” minor, available to 2020 students.
The minor will cover the basic concepts and methods of analytics, focusing on network data work and social network modeling and analyzing network unstructured data. The minor's main advantage is the applied nature of the training: no lectures and a focus on practical work.

Did you know a handy, simple, and beautiful program for machine learning and data visualization?
And that's the Orange analytics system where you don't have to write code; you insert widgets that can do almost everything from simple visualization to complex models (machine learning and data mining). Orange is suitable for both beginners and advanced users because you can use Orange as a Python programming library.
And Orange has detailed video tutorials to show you how to use it. Install the program and enjoy the visualization!

There is an old saying that goes “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” But what does it actually mean? How does one lie using a tool that’s supposed to be infallible? How to find out when you are being lied to with statistics? In our age of social networks, where fake news can spread across the world like wildfire, these questions are as important as ever before. Answering these questions however, requires both knowledge and experience.
MDNA and MASNA invite you to their joint webinar “Detecting fake news with statistics”.
The event will take place on March 23, at 19:00 Moscow Time (GMT +3). The webinar will be held by Valentina Kuskova, PhD, the academic supervisor of the programs. We are waiting for you!

What can you do with data analysis?
In today’s world, we are both consuming and generating data all the time. But what can we do with the data we generate? What can we learn from the massive amount of unstructured data available to us? How can we gather, manage and process this kind of data? How can we present our insights to others?
Join us on April 07, 2021, at 19:00 Moscow Time (GMT +3). The webinar will be held by Anna Sokol and Gregory Khvatsky, alumni of the Master of Applied Statistics with Network Analysis degree programme and ANR Lab researchers. Learn more about data analysis and some of its interesting and unusual applications and the Master of Data and Network Analytics degree programme itself, and come ready to ask questions - we’ll be happy to answer.

Colors from the picture 🌈
Creativity begins with inspiration, so today, we decided to share with you services that can help you choose colors for your website/presentation/logo design.
To do this, you need to find any photo you like and load it into Adobe Color, the "Extract Theme" tab. You will see a palette of the photo's main colors; you can either extract the colors yourself or choose from the offered palettes, for example, "muted."
Tip✨: start with photographs of nature, everything beautiful has already been invented for us)

Spurious correlations
What do Nicolas Cage's films have in common with the number of people drowned in swimming pools🧐?
These events cannot be related, BUT the correlation between these events is 66%! This example proves that we must look not only at numbers but also must understand what is the meaning behind them and if there any. Look at other examples and see for yourself.

What is RMarkdown, or how to make an incredibly excellent report in R
Analytical work isn't just about building models; after all, it's about interpreting and transferring the results into an analytical report. How do you make R become a valuable tool for data analysis and an instant compiler to produce a document that includes the text, the necessary code, and the results?
RMarkdown, which is a kind of add-on in RStudio, allows you to create documents in any format directly in R with the ability to change text formatting to your liking, include third-party images in the text, and use other useful features.
Your data tells a story. Tell it with R Markdown.

John Tukey, a well-known mathematician and statistician, wrote that «The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.» A picture is worth a thousand words; that is why it is crucial to develop visual thinking. We are bombarded by so much information daily, printed and online, that we simply don’t have time to read it all. However, a chart or a graph can make life easier, and business reporting is not an exception.
The offline English-taught master’s programme «Applied Statistics with Network Analysis» (MASNA) and its «online mirror» «Master of Data and Network Analytics» (MDNA) on the Coursera platform invite you to their joint open doors day webinar «Visual thinking for developing business reports» with Elena Beylina, the winner of a Russian countrywide infographics competition, “Sociography-2021.” The event will take place on May 19, 2021, at 19:00 Moscow Time (GMT +3).
During the webinar, you will learn the basics of visual communications and be inspired to create your infographics, dashboards, or slide docs. If you’re interested in how our programmes' courses will help you improve your reports, come, ask questions, and enjoy!

All of us are connected to many other people by an acquaintance, friendship, family, professional, and other social ties. The set of all these connections constitutes the structure of a complex social network we all belong to. The topology of this structure has a substantial influence on every individual and society's functioning via many mechanisms. These mechanisms are described by the Social Network Analysis (SNA) discipline. SNA allows to measure, quantify and analyze social networks and has proved to be a powerful source for understanding group and individual behavior. Unsurprisingly, it became an indispensable instrument for business management. By uncovering the hidden social structure of an organization, informed use of SNA gives a manager access to an organizational “control panel.”
The offline English-taught master’s programme «Applied Statistics with Network Analysis» (MASNA) and its «online mirror» «Master of Data and Network Analytics» (MDNA) on the Coursera platform invite you to their joint open doors day webinar «Social Network Analysis: application for business management and consulting» with Elizaveta Chernenko. She graduated from our programme last year, but this does not mean that she stopped studying network analysis. MASNA allowed Lisa to pursue her favorite field of study – business networks, and successfully enter Oxford this year.
In this webinar, Lisa Chernenko will show business cases that illustrate the power of SNA for organizational management. Join us on May 25, at 19:00 Moscow Time (GMT +3).
