This course introduces applications and techniques for assaying and modeling large data. The course also presents basic and advanced modeling strategies, such as group-by processing for linear models, random forests, generalized linear models, and mixture distribution models. Students perform hands-on exploration and analyses using tools such as SAS Enterprise Miner, SAS Visual Statistics, and SAS In-Memory Statistics.
Learn how to
- Use applications designed for big data analyses.
- Explore data efficiently.
- Reduce data dimensionality.
- Build predictive models using decision trees, regressions, generalized linear models, random forests, and support vector machines.
- Build models that handle multiple targets.
- Assess models using validation and cross-validation techniques.
- Implement models and score new predictions.
