Building on a foundation of understanding of what is data mining, and how it differs from statistics, the ideal future employee will understand the problem being solved, how technology like IBM SPSS Modeler can be used to solve the problem, and finally communicate that value of the insights gained to the business. This session will include a digestible, impactful demo of how SPSS Modeler can be used in your courses to provide insights. | |
