CHOOSE THE TRAINING
THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU
The Modeling Agency's "Predictive Analytics & Data Mining"
course series is designed to bring you up to speed more effectively,
efficiently and pragmatically than any other program available for
data mining. This series presents the topic from two very distinct orientations yet
complementary objectives. Each course within the series may be
attended independently, or in succession for a comprehensive view of
data mining.
Refer to the table below to ensure that
your experience, situation and objectives align properly with the

SELECTION CONSIDERATIONS
If you can only attend one session, consider the Strategic
Implementation course. Even though it is second in the
progression, the Strategic Implementation course has no
prerequisites and covers the most critical and pragmatic aspects of
the data mining process while putting them into practice. You
may always return for the Model Development course at a later time.
Participants do build models in the Strategic Implementation course,
with tactics largely automated by software.
Modern data mining software is highly effective
at automating model-building tactics. It is far more important
to drive a superior project design with good models than to develop
excellent models that answer the wrong questions or are
uninterruptable. Two surveys displayed in
"Reason #3" of TMA's article entitled "101
Ways to Sabotage Your Predictive Analytics Project"
underscore that the elusive pitfalls that cause most data
mining projects fall short of their potential are strategic.
EARN YOUR CERTIFICATE
Those who attend the full week will be eligible to take a
certification exam. Upon passing the exam, you will achieve
professional certification in Predictive Analytics and Data Mining.
The certification may be referenced in your professional profile,
on-line credentials or your résumé.
