The Chicago
Chapter of the American Statistical Association
is hosting a 1-day workshop on Support Vector Machines(SVMs)
on March 26,
2010. Support Vector Machines are an emerging set of
techniques that have been used with great success in
prediction,
classification, and anomaly detection. IBM SPSS Statistics
does
not have the capability, but you can run R commands that
perform
SVM analysis from within Statistics. IBM SPSS Modeler has an
SVM modeling node. In order to use SVMs successfully, you
need to be
familiar with settings and tuning parameters that are the
subject matter
of this workshop. Our presenter, Lutz Hamel of the
University of
Rhode Island, is an
expert in these methods. For more information
