RE: DM: Data Mining Course

By now, you may have already found a Data Mining course that suits you.
However, I think a few others on this list asked to be informed of any
courses that use practical applications to illustrate data prep, compare
various methods and tools, and review results interpretation.

I occassionally see data mining course announcements by software vendors,
but I recently came across a link at KDNuggets that points to what seems to
be a very thorough vendor neutral course (two-levels actually: first is
introductory/broad topics and second is a drill-down).  It looks like they
use multiple tools to illustrate methods and compare results - by a company
called The Modeling Agency.  I think you were looking for a distance
learning version.  I did see one course offered via the web there, but I
believe the data mining courses are held in conference rooms around the
nation.

Anyway, if you're curious for the details, you'll find them at:

Subject: DM: Data Mining Course

Hello All:
Does anyone know of a data mining university course that is offered via
distance learning?  None of the universities here in Raleigh, NC -- NC
State, Duke, and UNC -- have such a course.

I have a Masters from NCSU and have taken basic courses in statistics and
machine learning.  I have read widely and studied DM.  Now I need practical
knowledge from someone with experience, especially in results interpretation
and in using multiple tools to analyze a problem.

I would appreciate your input.
