Schulung - IBM 0A058G - Advanced Data Preparation Using IBM SPSS Modeler (v18.1.1)

Course Outline

1: Using functions to cleanse and enrich data
Use date functions
Use conversion functions
Use string functions
Use statistical functions
Use missing value functions

2: Using additional field transformations
Replace values with the Filler node
Recode continuous fields with the Binning node
Change a field’s distribution with the Transform node

3: Working with sequence data
Use sequence functions
Count an event across records
Expand a continuous field into a series of continuous fields with the Restructure node
Use geospatial and time data with the Space-Time-Boxes node

4: Sampling, partitioning and balancing data
Draw simple and complex samples with the Sample node
Create a training set and testing set with the Partition node
Reduce or boost the number of records with the Balance node

5:  Improving efficiency
Use database scalability by SQL pushback
Process outliers and missing values with the Data Audit node
Use the Set Globals node
Use parameters
Use looping and conditional execution
