Course Description

This course will take you to the wizard level in data mining. It follows Data Mining With Weka and More Data Mining With Weka. Learn how to forecast time series and mine data streams. Connect the R statistical package to Weka and you'll learn how to use its many visualisation and preprocessing functions. The Weka interface allows you to script Weka in Python. You'll also learn how to share data mining jobs across multiple computers using Apache SPARK. Before you sign up, take a look at some of the steps.
