Supervised methods include linear regression, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, Naïve Bayes, and decision trees. Unsupervised methods include cluster analysis and association rules. Data preparation, dimension reduction, and model performance evaluation are also examined. Emphasis is placed on working with large data sets in business context and communicating results to diverse audiences. The primary software used is R but other tools may be incorporated.
