Fundamentals of Predictive Analytics

Data and Business Intelligence|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of Predictive Analytics is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through data warehouse concepts and SQL querying without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because reporting effort scales badly when the underlying model is wrong, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with scenario modelling, DAX and calculated measures and statistical fundamentals in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review scenario modelling and say plainly whether it is working, measured against dimensional modelling practice
Make a decision about DAX and calculated measures without waiting for a specialist
Take ownership of statistical fundamentals rather than escalating it
Explain pivot table analysis to someone who does not do the work
