In this course, you will cover key unsupervised learning techniques including association rules, principal components analysis, and clustering. You will also review integration of supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. Participants will apply data mining algorithms to real data, and will interpret the results. A final project will integrate an unsupervised task with supervised methods covered in predictive Analytics 1 and 2. Students will use R, a free software environment with statistical computing and graphics capabilities. Note: If you prefer to work in Excel or Python, this course is offered using Solver (an Excel add-in) or Python.
