DATA MINING WITH DECISION TREES
** NEW! Applied Data Mining with CART Decision Trees **
** Introduction to CART Tutorial **
** Advanced CART Techniques Seminar **
*** NEW SEMINAR! APPLIED DATA MINING WITH CART DECISION TREES ***
May 24-25 in New York (Crown Plaza), June 24-25 in Washington DC (George
Washington University)
A new 2-day seminar focusing on applied data mining with decision trees,
from A to Z. If you're interested in watching a data miner in action, join
Dan Steinberg, one of the world's leading experts on decision trees, in a
hands-on exploration of the practical use and application of decision trees
in solving data mining problems. Using real world data sets, this
interactive seminar explores all stages of data exploration, new variable
construction, modeling, refinement, and assessment.
*** AN INTRODUCTION TO CART DECISION TREES ***
May 19-20 in San Francisco (Marriott Downtown)
This popular two-day seminar is for business users and IT audiences
interested in understanding decision-tree technology: what it is, why it
works, how it has been used, and how it can help you better understand your
data. Master 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.
*** ADVANCED CART TECHNIQUES ***
May 21 in San Francisco (Marriott Downtown)
Sharpen your decision-tree expertise during this one-day advanced course
for analysts and modelers with prior knowledge of tree algorithms. Learn
how to hybridize decision trees with logistic regression and neural nets
... combine multiple trees via bagging, boosting, repeated sampling, and
varying priors ... explore alternative splitting rules ... grow and prune
with misclassification costs.
