1. Using JMP for the Case Competition

2. 1-2 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)

3. 1-3 Overview of Case Analysis Learn about specific modeling techniques like: Logistic Regression Decision Trees Bootstrap Forest Boosted Trees Neural Net Models

4. 1-4 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 11 and Mac users will select JMP 11 (OSX). The functionality is the same in both versions but there are some differences in navigation and menuing.

5. 1-5 JMP Tutorials Two suggested tutorials for students (JMP for Students 1 and JMP for Students 2) can be found at: http://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand /ondemand- series.shtml?series=academic&sortOrder=d escending

6. 1-6 On-Demand Webcasts There are many On-Demand Webcasts on the JMP website that can be viewed at: http://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ Some that may be of interest to you are in Mastering JMP: http://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ ondemand- series.shtml?series=mastering&sortOrder=de scendinghttp://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ ondemand- series.shtml?series=mastering&sortOrder=de scending

7. 1-7 On-Demand Webcasts Additional webcasts are in Building Better Models: http://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ ondemand- series.shtml?series=buildBetterModels&sort Order=ascendinghttp://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ ondemand- series.shtml?series=buildBetterModels&sort Order=ascending

8. 1-8 On-Demand Webcasts Here is a good place to get started. There are several good 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. These videos can be found at: http://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ ondemand- viewer.shtml?reglink=70130000001rBqo&seri es=masteringhttp://www.jmp.com/about/events/ondemand/ ondemand- viewer.shtml?reglink=70130000001rBqo&seri es=mastering
