  2. Logistics of machine learning

  3. What predictive model features are, and how to create them

  4. A statistical primer, highlighting key machine learning models and concepts

  5. Build a decision tree, logistic regression and random forest through

    1. Opioid abuse prediction case study

    2. KNIME (a free machine learning software, no coding required!)

  6. Assess model performance

  7. Output presentation and implementation

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner to Intermediate analysts of health data
  • Public health/Epidemiology/Bioinformatics analysts
  • Actuarial/Statistical analysts
