New! Data Mining in R by Deanne Larson

With increasing interest in big data, the topic and skills of data mining get new attention, including strong interest in the value that can be derived from large data sets. Data mining is the process of selecting, exploring, and modeling large amounts of data to uncover previously unknown information for business benefit.

R is an open source software environment for statistical computing and graphics and is very popular with data scientists. R is being used for data analysis, extracting and transforming data, fitting models, drawing inferences, making predictions, plotting, and reporting results.

This 3.5 hour online training course, part of our Business Intelligence track, is geared towards data analysis and business analytics professionals, and anyone interested in learning data mining techniques to find insights in data (some statistics and programming experience helpful).
