Elder Research is presenting a 2-day course, “Tools
for Discovering Patterns in Data: Extracting Value from Tables, Text, and Links,”
on September 9-10 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Drawing on 20 years of
experience, Dr. John Elder will explain techniques employed by experts
to solve challenging problems.
The course description can be found here:

Attendees will receive the 864-page book,
Handbook of Statistical Analysis and Data Mining Applications, by Drs. Nisbet, Elder, and Miner, winner of the 2009
PROSE Award in Mathematics. It includes fully functional (limited time) data mining software from SAS, IBM/SPSS, and StatSoft.
This course describes powerful analytic methods for classification and
estimation drawn from Statistics and Data Mining. Dr. Elder will
explain leading algorithms, compare their merits, and demonstrate their
effectiveness on practical applications. We'll
review classical statistical techniques, and outline how they are
modified and combined into modern methods. The course emphasizes
practical advice and the essential techniques of Resampling,
Visualization, and Ensembles. Actual scientific and business examples
illustrate techniques employed by expert analysts. Key aspects of
mining text and links will also be outlined, and major strengths of
leading commercial software tools for Data Mining will be compared.
