Course details
| IBM course code: 0A028G | Category: IBM SPSS Modeler / IBM SPSS Modeler |
| Delivery: Online & on-site** | Course length in days: 1 |
Target audience
Roles: Business Analyst, Data Scientist
Specifically, this is an introductory course for:
• Anyone who is interested in getting up to speed quickly and efficiently using the IBM SPSS Modeler forecasting capabilities
Desired Prerequisites:
• Familiarity with the IBM SPSS Modeler environment (creating, editing, opening, and saving streams).
• General knowledge of regression analysis is recommended but not required
Instructors
The great majority of the IBM courses we offer are taught directly by our engineers. This is the only way we can guarantee the highest quality. We complement all the training with our own materials and laboratories, based on our experience during the deployments, migrations and courses that we have carried out during all these years.
Added value
Our courses are deeply role oriented. To give an example, the needs for technology mastery are different for developer teams and for the people in charge of deploying and managing the underlying infrastructure. The level of previous experience is also important and we take it very seriously. That is why beyond (boring) commands and tasks, we focus on solving the problems that arise in the day to day of each team. Providing them with the knowledge, competencies and skills required for each project. In addition, our documentation is based on the latest version of each product.
