Overview
This two-day course presents predictive analytics & data mining methods and solutions at both the tactical and strategic level. Demonstrations include project design examples, comprehensive project assessment, data preparation techniques, and practical business issues for extracting and interpreting complex patterns and relationships from large volumes of data. Those in attendance will learn about various methods of predictive analytics, competitive advantages, and common pitfalls that often cause predictive analytics projects to fall short of their potential. If you desire an intensive functional orientation to data mining concepts, tools, techniques, and supporting methods, then this session is designed for you. This vendor-neutral course broadly covers data-driven information discovery techniques and model-building tactics free of bias to any particular modeling tool or method. Popular open-source and commercial packages are leveraged to illustrate methods, but not to showcase the tools. Attendees will depart with a binder full of slides, supporting notes, and a valuable index of predictive analytics resources.
