Matlab for Predictive Analytics ( matlabpredanalytics | 21 hours )

• Experience with Matlab
• No previous experience with data science is required

Predictive analytics is the process of using data analytics to make predictions about the future. This process uses data along with data mining, statistics, and machine learning techniques to create a predictive model for forecasting future events.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Matlab to build predictive models and apply them to large sample data sets to predict future events based on the data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create predictive models to analyze patterns in historical and transactional data
• Use predictive modeling to identify risks and opportunities
• Build mathematical models that capture important trends
• Use data from devices and business systems to reduce waste, save time, or cut costs

Audience

• Developers
• Engineers
• Domain experts

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
