Certificate in Emerging Techniques in Analytics and Data Science
3 Day Course
On-line (Zoom)

Event Menu

Overview:

The MORS Certificate in Emerging Techniques in Analytics and Data Science is designed to provide a broad overview of many of the emerging techniques in analytics and the data sciences. The course is intended for mid-level journeymen analysts looking to gain a breadth of knowledge in analytic techniques and junior analysts seeking to understand what is out there to learn. Throughout the course, there will be demonstrations and hands-on code to see how these algorithms run on actual data. Due to time constraints and the breadth of the course, detailed coding and individual development of models will be left to follow on future potential courses in Python and R.

Objectives:

Our expert instructors aim to teach participants about emerging techniques in analytics and data science, enabling participants to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various techniques and cut through the marketing hype to show how implementation can actually help national security organizations.
