Data mining & predictive modeling
In this course you will learn to use the techniques required to perform analyzes of large data sets to find (statistical) connections.
Fundamental concepts for understanding and successfully applying data mining methods
It is becoming increasingly easy and common to collect and store large amounts of data. This applies for example to consumer data, data on individual behavior, warranty and fault data and production processes where sensors log data on a large scale.
With the help of data mining it is possible to discover relationships and structures in such large amounts of data and to develop prediction models. Techniques from applied statistics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are used.
In this course you learn about fundamental concepts for understanding and applying data mining methods. During the course participants gain experience in the visual programming of data workflows, with which model-fit, -validation and -comparison can be easily executed in practice.
Furthermore, possibilities and dangers of using generative AI, such as ChatGPT and Copilot, when applying the discussed techniques will be explicitly addressed and demonstrated.
Successful application of data mining methods and business analytics
At the end of this module you will:
- You have an overview of commonly used methods for predictive modeling from the areas of statistics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- You can develop these models for standard situations independently, using software such as IBM Modeler, SAS-Enterprise Guide and Enterprise Miner or Orange to visually program data workflows.
- You have gained practical experience with validating, interpreting and comparing alternative models and their use for decision support.
Intended for
Academics and higher professionals who are dealing in their work with data mining issues and the analysis of large data files. The course is also suitable for lecturers from universities and colleges of higher education who want to become acquainted with current methods in the field of data mining.
Background in a specific discipline is not required. Knowledge of basic statistical techniques such as testing, estimation and regression modelling is desirable.
Would you like to have more background information or read about experiences of data analysis course participants? Read our interviews:
- Interview with Hendrik-Jan de Kort (SPIE Nederland). He and his team followed an incompany data training to build on AI-knowledge.
- Interview with Tomaso della Vedova and Chantal Visser (Endress + Hauser), about their incompany course on data mining and predictive modeling.
- Course leader dr. Koo Rijpkema (University of Technology Eindhoven) shares his vision on the world of data and courses and the importance of the discipline.

In-company
Are several employees interested in the same course, do you want to enrich knowledge with the entire team or focus on your own practice? Then an in-company course could be interesting. We are happy to think along with you about the possibilities. PAOTM has extensive experience in organizing in-company courses in many technical fields for a wide range of companies. You can choose to have an existing course organized in-company for multiple employees. However, if you have a specific organizational or departmental issue, we can also design a unique course. For every customized request, we search our network at universities, knowledge institutes and the business community for the right teachers who can provide your team with the desired knowledge. We then put together a course based on your training needs, learning needs and organizational goals.
Curious about the possibilities? Contact one of our program managers or complete the form below. We are happy to make you a suitable offer.
