There is a new version of this course. Please see SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning in SAS Viya: Interactive Machine Learning.

This course provides a theoretical foundation for SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning, as well as hands-on experience using the tool through the SAS Visual Analytics interface. The course uses an interactive approach to teach you visualization, model assessment, and model deployment while introducing you to a variety of machine learning techniques.

Learn how to

• train a forest model
• train a gradient boosting model
• train a neural network
• train a support vector machine
• train factorization machines
• compare models
• export model score code and score a model.

Who should attend

Predictive modelers, business analysts, and data scientists who want to take advantage of SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning for highly interactive, rapid model fitting on SAS Viya
