Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has taken this training class offered by SAS:
https://support.sas.com/edu/schedules.html?id=1220
I'm self taught in EM and we use it for building basic predictive models at
work.  I'm just wondering how "basic" is the course.  By basics, I mean I can,
build and compare models, impute, transform, cluster variables and score data.
Does the course cover more than that?  Especially the details in setting the
properties for models in EM, tradeoffs with different models, business cases
in which they are preferred.  Stacking, ensembles and the more complex models
I don't use, like LARS, SVM, MBR, gradient boosting, or the time series nodes
Thanks
