Introduction to Machine Learning Models Using IBM SPSS Modeler (V18.2) SPVC

Contains PDF course guide, as well as a lab environment where students can work through demonstrations and exercises at their own pace.

This course provides an introduction to supervised models, unsupervised models, and association models. This is an application-oriented course and examples include predicting whether customers cancel their subscription, predicting property values, segment customers based on usage, and market basket analysis.
