Using JMP for the Case Competition

Overview of Case Analysis If you have not had formal coursework in data mining, in order to compete in the case, you will probably want to do the following: Install JMP Learn the basics of JMP Learn about partitioning the data set (training, validation, test sets) Learn about specifying the type of variables (nominal, ordinal, categorical)

Overview of Case Analysis Learn about specific modeling techniques like: Logistic Regression Decision Trees Bootstrap Forest Boosted Trees Neural Net Models

Installing JMP Villanova owns a site license for JMP so that every student can install JMP at:  https://software.villanova.edu/   Enter you Villanova user id and password (keep the organization box blank).  Windows users will select JMP and Mac users will select JMP (OSX). The functionality is the same in both versions but there are some differences in navigation and menuing.

JMP Tutorials Tutorials videos for students using JMP can be found at http://www.jmp.com/en_us/learning-library.html

On-Demand Webcasts There are several good on-demand webcasts that provide a good overview of data mining, provide a discussion of data partitioning, explain where to access the sample data sets within JMP, and provide an introduction to building predictive models. http://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/

On-Demand Webcasts Additional webcasts are in Building Better Models: http://www.jmp.com/en_us/events/ondemand/building-better-models.html

Model Comparison A good model comparison video can be found at: http://www.jmp.com/en_us/events/ondemand/building-better-models/introduction-modeling-and-model-comparison.html

On-Demand Webcasts Consider watching JMP’s : Regression video Decision tree video Bootstrap Forest and Boosted Tree videos Neural Net videos We hope this help and Good Luck!
