Formation IBM SPSS Modeler : Modèles avancés de Machine Learning (v18.2)

This course presents advanced models available in IBM SPSS Modeler. The participant is first introduced to a technique named PCA/Factor, to reduce the number of fields to a number of core factors, referred to as components or factors.

The next topics focus on supervised models, including Support Vector Machines, Random Trees, and XGBoost. Methods are reviewed on how to analyze text data, combine individual models into a single model, and how to enhance the power of IBM SPSS Modeler by adding external models, developed in Python or R, to the Modeling palette.

Public :

This training targets especificaly the data scientists, the business analysts, and eventually experienced users of IBM SPSS Modeler who want to learn about advanced techniques in the software.
