Szkolenie Predictive Modeling for Continuous Targets Using IBM SPSS Modeler (v18)

This course (formerly Predicting Continuous Targets Using IBM SPSS Modeler (v16)) provides an overview of how to use IBM SPSS Modeler to predict a target field that describes numeric values. Students will be exposed to rule induction models such as CHAID and C&R Tree. They will also be introduced to traditional statistical models such as Linear Regression. Machine learning models will also be presented. Business use case examples include: predicting the length of subscription (for newspapers, telecommunication, job length, and so forth) and predicting claim amount (insurance).

Profil uczestnika

IBM SPSS Modeler Analysts who have completed the Introduction to IBM SPSS Modeler and Data Mining course who want to become familiar with the modeling techniques available in IBM SPSS Modeler to predict a continuous target.

Agenda

1. Introduction to predicting continuous targets
• List three modeling objectives

• Explain the concept of field measurement level and its implications for selecting a modeling technique
• List three types of models to predict continuous targets
• Determine the classification model to use
2. Building your tree interactively
• Explain how CHAID grows a tree
• Explain how C&R Tree grows a tree
• Build CHAID and C&R Tree models interactively
• Evaluate models for continuous targets
• Use the model nugget to score records
3. Building your tree directly
• Customize two options in the CHAID node
