Statistical Modeling &Analysis, and Data Mining
for Direct & Database Marketers

What makes the DM STAT-1 Seminar unique?
Typical seminars generally do a good job teaching the theory of data analysis. The

includes a heavier statistical and data mining component than other seminars. Additionally, our seminars include cutting-edge techniques such as Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, Fuzzy Logic, Case-Based Reasoning, and Intelligent Hybrid Models.

Finally, the

provides flexibility. We offer a menu of seminars so that you choose the level of information that will best suit your needs.

Participants integrate theory with practice, as they develop solid skills to handle real-life situations. Methods include the standard statistical models and exploratory data analysis (EDA), as well as cutting-edge knowledge discovery and data mining tools (KDD).

The Three-Day Course expands on the concepts introduced in the two-day seminar. Prior to the seminar, participants submit data on their current projects. The additional day provides the opportunity for us to present the findings of our analysis and make recommendations for achieving your project objectives.
