Cluster Analysis with R and SAS Training Course

Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is the process of discovering useful knowledge from a collection of data. Real-life applications for this data mining technique include marketing, fraud detection, telecommunication and manufacturing.

In this instructor-led, live course, we introduce the processes involved in KDD and carry out a series of exercises to practice the implementation of those processes.

Audience

• Data analysts or anyone interested in learning how to interpret data to solve problems

Format of the Course

• After a theoretical discussion of KDD, the instructor will present real-life cases which call for the application of KDD to solve a problem. Participants will prepare, select and cleanse sample data sets and use their prior knowledge about the data to propose solutions based on the results of their observations.

The Tidyverse is a collection of versatile R packages for cleaning, processing, modeling, and visualizing data. Some of the packages included are: ggplot2, dplyr, tidyr, readr, purrr, and tibble.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to manipulate and visualize data using the tools included in the Tidyverse.

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

• Perform data analysis and create appealing visualizations
• Draw useful conclusions from various datasets of sample data
• Filter, sort and summarize data to answer exploratory questions
• Turn processed data into informative line plots, bar plots, histograms
• Import and filter data from diverse data sources, including Excel, CSV, and SPSS files

Audience

• Beginners to the R language
• Beginners to data analysis and data visualization

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This instructor-led, live training in Venezuela (online or onsite) is aimed at data analysts who wish to program in SAS for advanced data management, data analysis, and more.

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

• Master macros to write efficient SAS programs.
• Train a model and make predictions on unseen data with predictive modeling.
• Create charts and plots for data visualization.

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

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at data analysts and data scientists who wish to implement more advanced data analytics techniques for data mining using Python.

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

• Understand important areas of data mining, including association rule mining, text sentiment analysis, automatic text summarization, and data anomaly detection.
• Compare and implement various strategies for solving real-world data mining problems.
• Understand and interpret the results. 

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

R is an open-source free programming language for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphics. R is used by a growing number of managers and data analysts inside corporations and academia. R has a wide variety of packages for data mining.

Big data is data sets that are so voluminous and complex that traditional data processing application software are inadequate to deal with them. Big data challenges include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy.

The objective of the course is to enable participants to gain a mastery of the fundamentals of R and how to work with data.
