On Day 1, master CART decision-tree fundamentals ... learn about decision-tree applications ... how to build and interpret CART trees ... and how to use advanced options-alternative splitting rules, prior probabilities, misclassification-to construct more robust predictive models. During the morning of Day 2, explore the practical use and application of decision-trees in solving real world data-mining problems. On the afternoon of Day 2, be the first on your block to get answers about an exciting, new regression modeling tool - what is MARS? Why does it work? How can it be used? How can it help you develop more accurate data-mining models. Learn how to plan and execute MARS analyses ... refine runs with key control parameters � and how to use MARS to improve an existing model.
