[R] Free Webinar: Vendor Neutral Intro to Data Mining for AbsoluteBeginners, May 23, 2007

[Brian Koch]

Lisa: Can we expect to see R used [exclusively, I would hope] during
your demonstration?  Learning "how data mining models work: the inputs,
the outputs, and the nature of the predictive mechanism" only makes
sense for me if I can follow/retrace your steps on my systems.  Thank
you.

predictive analytics; In what format must the data be; what steps are
necessary to prepare data appropriately 

**What kinds of questions can we answer with data mining

value measured

project.
