Master Data Management’s enterprise information management education partner, eLearningCurve.com has extended its Business Intelligence curriculum to include the new Data Mining Concepts and Techniques course.

Data mining is not a new discipline; however, it is growing in relevance as a key capability for data scientists grappling with the new data sources available through big data.

Data mining is the process of collecting, searching through and analysing data sets to discover previously unknown relationships.

The eLC course defines both data mining and data science and provides a review of the concept, processes and techniques used in each area.

This 3-hour online training course delivers insight into the data mining process, explain models and algorithms, and give an understanding of how to match the right data mining models to the right problems.

You Will Learn:

  • The definitions of data mining and data science
  • The role of statistics in data mining
  • Machine learning concepts
  • To differentiate between supervised and unsupervised learning
  • The data mining process
  • How to conduct exploratory data analysis
  • To identify data mining models and algorithms
  • How to match the problem with the model
  • Model validation techniques
  • How to deploy data mining models

This course is geared towards data analysts looking to gain and extend their foundational data mining knowledge, and requires a basic understanding of undergraduate statistics and data management concepts.

This course extends eLc’s focus on big data concepts and can contribute towards the internationally recognised Certified Information Management Professional (CIMP) accreditation in Business Intelligence. To achieve this certification candidates must complete at least 5 courses from the eLC Business Intelligence track, and pass the associated examinations.

“The Business Intelligence track is one of our more popular curricula,” says Gary Allemann, MD of Master Data Management. “This course offers another opportunity for companies to extend their advanced analytics and big data skills via elearning,” Allemann adds.

eLC provides over 80 elearning courses covering the broad range of enterprise information management disciplines and provide a platform for corporations to improve their access to these scarce skills by educating and certifying the EIM teams.
