This one-hour webinar is a perfect place to start if you are new to data mining and have little-to-no background in statistics or machine learning.

In one hour, we will discuss:

• Data basics: what kind of data is required for data mining and predictive analytics; In what format must the data be; what steps are necessary to prepare data appropriately

• What kinds of questions can we answer with data mining

• How data mining models work: the inputs, the outputs, and the nature of the predictive mechanism

• Evaluation criteria: how predictive models can be assessed and their value measured

• Specific background knowledge to prepare you to begin a data mining project.
