Machine Learning and Predictive Models|Online

Overview

Why Attend

Predictive models have become accessible to all users with the advancement of technology. This course offers a complete overview of supervised Machine Learning algorithms, and their role in the enhancement of predictions in most industries and by most organizations.

This course covers all models utilized under different technologies (SAS, Statistica and SPSS), enabling participants to become expert practitioners by evaluating and selecting appropriate solutions with suitable technical packages for their organizations.

Course Methodology

This course includes interactive discussion and the use of exercises and case studies. Each Machine Learning algorithm is supported by its own case study with step by step outputs that go in parallel with its multi stage analysis. All algorithms are detailed with sequential screen shot applications on comparative technologies such as SPSS, SAS, Statistica and Excel.
