Full day workshop
Applied Data Science for BI Professionals and DBAs
This session offers an accessible and practice-oriented introduction to data science, specifically aimed at BI professionals and DBAs. Starting from familiar concepts, the step is made from traditional data analysis to a more data-science-driven approach, in which not only insight but also prediction takes centre stage.
Attendees are taken through the entire data science process: from statistical basic principles and model selection to building machine learning models in R and Azure Machine Learning. In addition, attention is paid to operationalising models, so that analytics does not remain merely experimental, but actually adds value in production environments.
