Objective

1: Introduction to predictive models for continuous targets List three modeling objectives List two business questions that involve predicting continuous targets Explain the concept of field measurement level and its implications for selecting a modeling technique List three types of models to predict continuous targets Determine the classification model to use  

2: Building decision trees interactively Explain how CHAID grows a tree Explain how C&R Tree grows a tree Build CHAID and C&R Tree models interactively Evaluate models for continuous targets Use the model nugget to score records

3: Building decision trees directly Customize two options in the CHAID node Customize two options in the C&R Tree node List one difference between CHAID and C&R Tree  

4. Using traditional statistical models Explain key concepts for Linear Customize options in the Linear node Explain key concepts for Cox Customize options in the Cox node  

5: Using machine learning models Explain key concepts for Neural Net Customize one option in the Neural Net node
