A new SPES and Q&P webinar is coming up on Friday, March 29, 2013 from 3:00-5:00 pm Eastern Time: Join presenters Roger Hoerl from Union College, Richard De Veaux from Williams College, and Ron Snee from Snee Associates who will be co-presenting Effective Data Mining: Applying Statistical Engineering to “Big Data”.
The following is a snippet from the webinar description:
After an introduction of the Big Data problem, and some discussion of the newer tools now available to analysts, we will discuss the problems that can arise when these statistical engineering fundamentals are ignored, even with well-designed and powerful analytic tools. Further, we will share our thoughts on how to improve data mining projects by incorporating these principles into the overall project. Combining the powerful analytic techniques now available with sound modeling principles and massive data that have a quality “pedigree” can produce groundbreaking results. However, Big Data projects must be built upon a sound statistical engineering foundation, and not upon the sandy foundation of hype and unstated assumptions.
The deadline for registration is Wednesday, March 27, at 12:00 pm Eastern Time. For more details about the webinar and registration, visit the ASA Web-Based Lectures page at the following link.
