Analytics encompasses many skills and disciplines. Identifying the problem, choosing the modeling approach, selecting the correct features to model, and evaluating the result are at the heart of analytics. The tendency, however, is to focus primarily on the technology rather than the process.
Join us for a problem-focused, applied experience where you learn to apply the analytics process to produce meaningful and valuable insights.
Business analysts, data analysts, and data scientists who need to frame analytic problems and choose the most effective ways to solve those problems; business and technical managers who need to understand the nature of analytics and data science work; BI and analytics developers who work with data scientists; anyone who aspires to become a data analyst, business analyst, or data scientist.
