BONUS! Cyber Phoenix Subscription Included: All Phoenix TS students receive complimentary ninety (90) day access to the Cyber Phoenix learning platform, which hosts hundreds of expert asynchronous training courses in Cybersecurity, IT, Soft Skills, and Management and more!
Course Overview
This training course teaches analysts how to predict behaviors, events and make product recommendations based on multiple factors. By the end of the course, students will be able to build classification models and evaluate the accuracy of predictive algorithms. Classification algorithms answer the questions “What is the person or object like?” “What is the likelihood that an event will happen or that a person is part of a particular group?” Applications include fraud detection, cyber attack and intrusion detection, anticipating employee and customer behavior and detecting other threats and events.
Schedule
Currently, there are no public classes scheduled. Please contact a Phoenix TS Training Consultant to discuss hosting a private class at 301-258-8200.

Supervised Machine Learning: Classification Algorithms Training FAQs
This course is intended for leaders and executives who have a good working knowledge of R, have a good background in basic statistics,
need to build predictive models to anticipate market demand, customer behaviors, fraud and security threats; want to stand out as data scientists with advanced predictive modeling skills.
Students should have taken the Introduction to Data Science, R, and Visualization course or should have the equivalent knowledge of data manipulation, cleaning and visualization. Students should also have take the Regression and Time-Series Analysis course or be familiar with linear regression and basic statistics concepts such as standard deviation, p-values, etc.
