Subject: WEBCAST for a Gentle Introduction to Genetic Programming - no charge! Date: Mutually Convenient Date & Time
As calculus is used to derive statistical regression models, genetic programming is used to evolve the GenIQ model. Thus, the webcast for a Gentle Introduction of Genetic Programming(GP) provides a model builder with a comfort level needed to accept the GenIQ model building process.
The GenIQ Model© is a machine learning alternative model to the statistical ordinary least squares and logistic regression models. GenIQ lets the data define the model – automatically data mines for new variables, performs variable selection, and then specifies the model equation – so as to "optimize the decile table," to fill the upper deciles with as much profit/many responses as possible. Put differently, GenIQ seeks to maximize cum lift, a measure of model predictiveness of identifying the upper performing individuals often displayed in a decile table. GenIQ produces models that outdo statistical models, and is a different model: unsuspected equation, ungainly interpretation, and easy implementation. GenIQ requires no programming, produces models that outdo statistical models, and is a different model: unsuspected equation, ungainly interpretation, and easy implementation. Prerequisites for the Genetic Programming Webcast 1. Entry-level/well-schooled modeler of statistical ordinary least squares and logistic regression models, AND who can think out of the box. OR 2. Mid-level or Advanced modeler of statistical ordinary least squares and logistic regression models, AND who can think out of the box.
Genetic Programming Webcasts are one-on-one, you and your invited colleagues, and me.This allows for me to give you my full attention to answer all your questions, without feeling that you are taking-up other attendees' time. Please do not be put off by the webcast. It has proven to be the most effective way of my explaining genetic programming.
After the webcast, I email you the Gentle Introduction of Genetic Programming webcast presentation for your reference.
To Register for the webcast - a 60-minute GP theory-lite tutorial - please anwser Question #1, below.
Question #1. Please provide me with the following information by clicking email.
- Two dates & times available for the GP Webcast.
- Statistical Modeling Experience: 1) Entry-level modeler, 2) Mid-level modeler, or 3) Advanced modeler.
- Do you, at least in part, use the decile table/analysis to determine the best model? 1) Yes, or 2) No
- Your attitude of thinking out of the box on a scale of: 1) None, ... , 10) Always willing to consider new ideas.
Once we have agreed on a date & time, you will receive a "GoToMeeting© Invitation" email with instructions on how to join the event.
I guarantee that you will know the following topics after the webcast:
- Data basics: What kind of data is required for genetic modeling and data mining; in what format must the data be; what steps are necessary to prepare data appropriately (there are none!).
- The inputs, the outputs, and the nature of its predictive mechanism of GP.
- What kinds of questions can be answered with GP data mining.
- Evaluation criteria: How GP predictive models can be assessed and their value measured.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
