DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Elder, Elder Research\nMonday, September 14, 2009 and Tuesday, September 15, 2009\nCharlottesville, Virginia\nIn this 2-day course, "Tools for Discovering Patterns in Data," , Dr. John Elder will draw upon his 20 years of experience as he explains the inner workings of techniques employed by experts to solve challenging problems.\nThe course description is: http://www.datamininglab.com/COURSES/Annual2DayCourse/tabid/66/Default.aspx\nAttendees will receive a copy of the new book, co-authored by the instructor, Handbook of Statistical Analysis and Data Mining Applications. This ~900-page hardback is designed to help practitioners achieve success with data mining and includes valuable fully-working 90-day versions of powerful data mining software from three leading vendors.\nThe course is practical, and experience-based, and demystifies data mining with clarity and humor.  Learn to isolate the essential aspects of a problem and select and combine appropriate software tools to find useful patterns in noisy, incomplete data.  Practical examples are drawn from successful consulting engagements in a wide range of fields -- including investment modeling, fraud detection, biometrics, credit scoring, CRM, national security, drug efficacy, process optimization, and image recognition.  The course contains the popular segment, "Top 10 Data Mining Mistakes, and How to Avoid Them," vendor-neutral discussions of the strengths of leading software tools, and clear explanations of the essential technologies of text mining, resampling statistics, ensembles of models, and scientific visualization.  \nCost:  $1,195.  Space is limited.  To register, call 434-973-7673, or download a registration form from Elder Research's website.  \n This event is provided by Elder Research.\n\n\nFor up-to-date details, see:\nhttp://www2.lib.virginia.edu/brown/rescomp/events.html#/?p=812
