Member Training: A Predictive Modeling Primer: Regression and Beyond

by guest contributer

Predicting future outcomes, the next steps in a process, or the best choice(s) from an array of possibilities are all essential needs in many fields. The predictive model is used as a decision making tool in advertising and marketing, meteorology, economics, insurance, health care, engineering, and would probably be useful in your work too!

Join Elaine Eisenbeisz as she presents the rationale and risks of predictive modeling via supervised learning techniques. Elaine will also provide an overview of some of the many available modeling techniques including:

  • Linear regression
  • Logistic regression
  • Linear discriminant analysis
  • K-Nearest Neighbors
  • Resampling methods (Cross-Validation, Bootstrap)
  • Subset selection
  • Shrinkage methods (Ridge regression, Lasso regression)
  • Tree-Based methods (Decision trees, Bagging, Random Forests, Boosting)

Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
