In this course you will cover 4 Data mining techniques which will be explained using case studies using R programming language. So you will need to install R-Studio before you start off-this course.
The 4 techniques that will be covered are:
·Liner Regression – It is a predictive model. For example it could be used to predict the sales for next month
·Logistic Regression-Another predictive model used for classification tasks
·Cluster Analysis- this is less statistical and more algorithmic in nature. It is used to find similar records. A common application would be how ecommerce sites give recommendations to customers
·Factor Analysis- a nice tool to reduce sizes of data-sets
The installation guide is included in the supplementary material

Note on factor analysis using the factanal() function in R:
The method factanal is a maximum likelihood algorithm, and is not always guaranteed find an optimum solution. Sometimes, it will return the "unable to optimize from this starting value" error. This can sometimes be fixed by increasing the "opt" value, and sometimes by increasing the "maxit" value (in the "control" parameter in the function). If you face this problem, you may try out these options, but be aware that not every method will return an optimum solution for any given data set.

This course helps you learn simple but powerful ways to work with data.
It is designed to be help people with limited statistical or programming skills quickly become productive in an increasingly digitized workplace.
In this course you will use R (an open-sourced, easy to use data mining tool) and practice with real life data-sets.
We focus on the application and provide you with plenty of support material for your long term learning.
It also includes a project that you can attempt when you feel confident in the skills you learn.
