SERIES OVERVIEW
 

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 intent, scope and depth of each production:

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.
