Data Mining & Machine Learning with R Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Botswana (online or onsite) is aimed at data analysts who wish to program with R in SAS for cluster analysis.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use cluster analysis for data mining
• Master R syntax for clustering solutions.
• Implement hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering.
• Make data-driven decisions to help to improve business operations.

Audience

If you try to make sense out of the data you have access to or want to analyse unstructured data available on the net (like Twitter, Linked in, etc...) this course is for you.

It is mostly aimed at decision makers and people who need to choose what data is worth collecting and what is worth analyzing.

It is not aimed at people configuring the solution, those people will benefit from the big picture though.

Delivery Mode

During the course delegates will be presented with working examples of mostly open source technologies.

Short lectures will be followed by presentation and simple exercises by the participants

Content and Software used

All software used is updated each time the course is run, so we check the newest versions possible.

It covers the process from obtaining, formatting, processing and analysing the data, to explain how to automate decision making process with machine learning.

Objective:

Delegates be able to analyse big data sets, extract patterns, choose the right variable impacting the results so that a new model is forecasted with predictive results.

Course can be provided with any tools, including free open-source data mining software and applications
