Video Description

SAS Enterprise Miner is SAS's premier tool for data mining and predictive modeling. This course introduces Enterprise Miner while demonstrating two common applications: segmentation and predictive modeling. It starts with a brief overview of the software and then covers segmentation and predictive modeling using a case-study approach based on real-world data. Upon completing the course, learners will have a basic, working knowledge of how to use Enterprise Miner to perform data mining and machine learning tasks. Participants should have a quantitative background and (ideally) some basic understanding of predictive models, including regression.

  • Learn how to use Enterprise Miner to perform data mining and machine learning tasks
  • Explore the fundamentals of predictive modeling and clustering
  • Discover how to build, compare, and deploy predictive models using SAS Enterprise Miner
  • Learn how to perform, interpret, and profile a cluster analysis using SAS Enterprise Miner
