Overview
The purpose of this webinar is to provide interested parties with an overview of the emerging field of Data Science. We will discuss what is meant by the term Data Science and how it similar to, yet goes beyond, the data analytic techniques health professionals have been employing for years to assess the efficacy of their intervention strategies.
What You'll Learn
- Articulate what Data Science is and how it is similar and different from what you have been doing.
- Identify the key skill sets needed for Data Science (Data Cleaning & Curation, Visualization, Statistical Analysis, Machine Learning Algorithms, Ethics).
- Understand what “Machine Learning” is and distinguish key types of machine learning (Supervised, Unsupervised, Semi-Supervised, Reinforcement, and Deep).
- Articulate key methods used to assess machine learning algorithms and the pitfalls of “overfitting.”
- Identify areas of your own work that could benefit from the application of machine learning techniques.
Who Should Attend
All levels within Clinical Data Management will find this training helpful.
Participants will gain a better understanding of some of the more common reporting tools available, how to best utilize those tools, and ensure the reports created from those tools are accurate.
