Quality training is the single most important factor that will influence a customer's success with Netezza. As a Netezza user, your registration package for Enzee Universe includes the option to attend this year’s pre-conference Best Practices session and any of the four post-conference training classes. In addition to our traditional Netezza Data Warehouse Appliance Usage course, we’ll be offering three brand new courses: Advanced Analytics Inside TwinFin i-Class, Mantra Basics, and R Modeling for TwinFin i-Class.

Space in these classes is limited, so sign up today to reserve your spot.

Sign up for this class to learn how to take advantage of TwinFin i-Class for your R modeling. Topics include:

  1. R CRAN package installation on TwinFin i-Class
  2. Creating models using R on TwinFin i-Class
  3. Creating R algorithms for TwinFin i-Class

Format
Hands-on classroom lecture, lab exercises, tour

Audience
Knowledgeable R users – modelers, analytic developers, data miners

Course Length
0.5 day: 12pm-4pm Wednesday, June 23

Delivery
Enzee Universe 2010, Boston, MA

Student Prerequisites
