About theĀ Forecasting and Predictive Analytics Certificate

Earners of the Forecasting and Predictive Analytics Certificate can apply regression, classification, clustering, optimization, and simulation techniques, all used for predictive analytics. Badge earners can forecast and predict future values for increasingly sophisticated data sets and business problems using time-based data. These candidates calculate scenarios based on distance and space, and determine the fit and usefulness for prediction of models.

Why?

This certificate is Part 4 of theĀ Data Analyst Certificates Bundle – a comprehensive five-part program that provides training and practical guidance on the topic of data analytics.

The Forecasting and Predictive Analytics Certificate will teach you fundamental techniques used for predictive analytics: regression, classification, clustering, optimization, and simulation. Beginning with basic models for revealing and establishing relationships, you will learn to apply increasingly sophisticated modeling techniques for practical data analysis, as well as commonly encountered problems so you can determine the fit and usefulness for prediction of your models, and apply them to typical business problems.

As you develop your understanding of applied predictive analytics, you'll learn how to perform basic forecasting using time-based data to predict future values from a model. You will also learn how to model and calculate scenarios based on distance and space. You will get practice with classification, including naive Bayesian classification; create basic decision trees; and use various techniques for clustering and linear optimization to solve common business problems; as well as learn techniques for assessing the effectiveness of your solutions.

Note:Ā It is recommended that you complete theĀ Data Analytics Modeling Certificate, or ensure you have equivalent knowledge and skills, before starting this certificate course.

Learning Labs:Ā This is an interactive learning program that includes bonus simulated learning labs with step-by-step guidance.
