Abstract

Data science is a bridge discipline involving computer science, statistics, and knowledge of the health field. We developed a Jupyter Notebook to enable novice users to easily and autonomously analyze data from social networks. We conducted an experimentation with non-programmer students. They had to adapt a R Notebook and complete 14 questions and to perform descriptive analyses. The average rate of correct answers was 90.7. Jupyter Notebook enabled novice users to easily and autonomously analyze data from Twitter.

Keywords: Data Science; Education; Programming; Social media.
