It's built around a series of case studies that illustrate all the concepts and algorithms. You will be an active participant in solving these cases. The class will work together to use selected data mining tools to explore the data, build predictive models using a variety of algorithms, and evaluate the results. As the instructors demonstrate how to apply decision trees, neural nets, logistic regression and other methods, you'll learn the advantages and disadvantages of each. But algorithms are only a tool -- the key to successful data mining is an in-depth understanding of your data. We'll teach you the recommended process for analyzing and manipulating data based on the proposed CRISP-DM standard (Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining). You'll learn how to: Identify appropriate problems for data mining Design a database for data mining Analyze and transform the data Use algorithms to build an accurate predictive model Evaluate the quality of your models Time and Place: June 7 and 8, 1999 Embassy Suites at the Chevy Chase Pavilion Washington, DC To register and for more information, see http://www.twocrows.com/dmcourse.htm Herb Edelstein President, Two Crows Corporation (301) 983-3555
