Predictive Modeling with Logistic Regression using SAS (Coursera)

Offered by SAS,
Predictive Modeling with Logistic Regression using SAS (Coursera)

This course covers predictive modeling using SAS/STAT software with emphasis on the LOGISTIC procedure. This course also discusses selecting variables and interactions, recoding categorical variables based on the smooth weight of evidence, assessing models, treating missing values, and using efficiency techniques for massive data sets. You learn to use logistic regression to model an individual's behavior as a function of known inputs, create effect plots and odds ratio plots, handle missing data values, and tackle multicollinearity in your predictors. You also learn to assess model performance and compare models.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Course Overview and Logistics
Understanding Predictive Modeling
In this module, you review the fundamentals of predictive modeling. Then you explore the business scenario data that is used throughout the course. Finally, you learn about common analytical challenges that you might encounter as a modeler.

WEEK 2
Fitting the Model
In this module, you investigate the concepts behind the logistic regression model. Then you learn to use the LOGISTIC procedure to fit a logistic regression model. Finally, you learn how to score new cases and adjust the model for oversampling.

WEEK 3
Preparing the Input Variables, Part 1
In this module, you learn how to deal with common problems with your predictor variables such as missing values, categorical predictors with many levels, a high number of redundant predictors, and nonlinear relationships with the response variable.

WEEK 4
Preparing the Input Variables, Part 2
In this module, you learn how to select the most predictive variables to use in your model.

WEEK 5
Measuring Model Performance
In this module, you learn how to assess the performance of your model and how to determine allocation rules that maximize profit. Finally, you learn how to generate a family of increasingly complex predictive models and how to select the best model.

WEEK 6

Even decades into the Information Age, accounting practices yet fail to recognize the financial value of information. Moreover, traditional asset management practices fail to recognize information as an asset to be managed with earnest discipline. This has led to a business culture of complacence, and the inability for most organizations to fully leverage available information assets. This second course in the two-part Infonomics series explores how and why to adapt well-honed asset management principles and practices to information, and how to apply accepted and new valuation models to gauge information’s potential and realized economic benefits.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is the most widely used technique for investigating the living, functioning human brain as people perform tasks and experience mental states. It is a convergence point for multidisciplinary work from many disciplines. Psychologists, statisticians, physicists, computer scientists, neuroscientists, medical researchers, behavioral scientists, engineers, public health researchers, biologists, and others are coming together to advance our understanding of the human mind and brain. This course covers the design, acquisition, and analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, including psychological inference, MR Physics, K Space, experimental design, pre-processing of fMRI data, as well as Generalized Linear Models (GLM’s).

Las organizaciones grandes y pequeñas están inundadas de datos sobre las elecciones de los consumidores. Pero esa riqueza de información no siempre se traduce en mejores decisiones. Saber cómo interpretar los datos es el desafío, y se espera que los mercadólogos en particular usen cada vez más la analítica para informar y justificar sus decisiones. El mercadeo analítico permite que los mercadólogos midan, gestionen y analicen el rendimiento de las actividades de mercadeo para maximizar su eficacia y optimizar el retorno de la inversión (Return On Investment, ROI).
