This course is appropriate for SAS Enterprise Miner from release 5.3 up to 14.2. The course covers the skills that are required to assemble analysis flow diagrams using the rich tool set of SAS Enterprise Miner for both pattern discovery (segmentation, association, and sequence analyses) and predictive modeling (decision tree, regression, and neural network models).

Lernen Sie, wie Sie / Learn how to

• define a SAS Enterprise Miner project and explore data graphically
• modify data for better analysis results
• build and understand predictive models such as decision trees and regression models
• compare and explain complex models
• generate and use score code
• apply association and sequence discovery to transaction data.

Zielgruppe / Who should attend

Data analysts, qualitative experts, and others who want an introduction to SAS Enterprise Miner
