Learn how to hire and manage data science professionals and transform your business with effectively deployed advanced analytics.

Are you a data science practitioner, looking to develop or enhance your skills in predictive analysis and data mining? This course provides several “big picture” insights, via instructor Keith McCormick, a veteran practitioner who has completed dozens of real-world projects. Keith begins by introducing you to key definitions and processes that you will need to complete the course successfully. He steps you through defining the problem you need your predictive analysis to address, then focuses on how to make sure you meet the data requirements and how good data preparation improves your data mining projects. Keith dives into the skill sets and resources that you need and the problems you will face. Then he goes over the steps to find the solution and put it to work with probabilities, propensities, missing data, meta modeling, and much more. Keith finishes up with detailed explanations of CRISP-DM and Tom Khabaza’s nine laws of data mining, plus Tom’s new 10th law.

Nothing is more important to the future of predictive analytics teams than proving their projects have long-term value. Measuring the return on investment (ROI) often can help turn analytics into a visible profit center for your organization. Estimating ROI early—before a project even begins—can also help fast-track approval. Here Keith McCormick shows how to address ROI both before and after the predictive model is built. Learn how to create your estimate before the project starts by estimating the overall size of the problem, assigning value to possible outcomes, and judging the impact of model performance. Keith then shows a different method for calculating ROI after the model is built, during the evaluation and deployment phases, and provides tips for the ongoing monitoring of the project. He also takes a retrospective look assessed one year after model deployment. These two strategies will give you the data you need to get buy-in for your projects and provide ongoing metrics on their performance.
