Those in attendance of this Gordian Institute short course will learn about different methods of modeling and how those models apply to real business problems. Those who desire to make data mining an integral part of their business process are target candidates. Attendees will learn to:

• Uncover valuable information buried in data.
• Learn what data has real meaning and what data simply takes up space (also known as "data prospecting")
• Examine which data mining methods and tools are most effective
• Avoid pitfalls in the analysis of results

Gordian's "Data Mining: Principles and Practice" seminar focuses on actual use and implementation of data mining techniques in the real world. The instructor has been deeply involved with the development of data mining methods and the means of their use. Actual products will be reviewed, as will results drawn from real data mining applications.

Those who would like a hands-on perspective to the instructional sessions may attend an optional third day application workshop. The workshop will highlight superior performance as well as pitfalls resulting from various tools and techniques when applied to different types of data intensive problems. Objective evaluations of popular data mining products can save immeasurable time and effort in assessing and selecting which suite of tools will perform best for your application.
