Abstract   
In these lectures, I will first try to brush a broad picture of what constitutes a typical data analysis pipeline in the context of a CMB experiment, with specific examples taken from the Planck mission. The lectures will be naturally divided into two parts, one concerning broadly the transition from timeline data to frequency maps, and the second part describing more specifically the spectral estimations methods developped so far. Finally, I will briefly describe how these estimators can be used to do cosmological inference, using the theoretical predictions described in the other lectures.
