2018 Predictive Modeling 

Workshop

About the Workshop The   Predictive   Modeling   Workshop   will   continue   this   year   at   the   2018 ILTCI   in   Las   Vegas,   NV.   We   had   a   very   successful   2017   workshop,   and we’re excited to build upon that education! How to Register for the Workshop Registration    for    the    Predictive    Modeling    Workshop    will    be    done through   the   conference   registrations   site.   So   as   you   register   for   the conference   you   will   select   it   from   the   activities   and   pay   the   $99   fee online. Using R programming As   we   did   last   year,   this   is   a   hands-on   workshop   where   participants   will actually   do   predictive   analytics.   This   year   participants   will   be   asked   to download   the   open-source,   free   R   software,   and   we   will   work   on   our own   laptops   to   complete   the   workshop   exercises.   What   this   means   is that   following   the   workshop,   participants   will   have   the   tools   already   on their   machines,   and   can   use   R   in   their   home   office.   Your   predictive modeling journey can continue after the ILTCI. Workshop Structure The   workshop   will   be   held   all   day   on   Wednesday,   March   21,   2018.   The workshop   will   cost   $99   to   participate.   The   workshop   leaders   will   be available   for   “office   hours”   on   the   Sunday   of   the   conference,   to   answer questions and talk about how fun predictive modeling really is. Homework prior to the ILTCI Learning   R   is   not   something   that   can   be   done   in   a   matter   of   minutes, and   will   take   some   time   to   get   up   to   speed.   All   participants   in   the workshop    are    required    to    complete    the    homework    laid    out    here. Completing    this    pre-work    will    ensure    that    participants    have    a    very successful   workshop,   and   walk   away   with   a   full   understanding   of   how they   can   apply   predictive   modeling   in   their   home   office.   In   addition, there   is   a   discussion   area   facilitated   on   the   Actuarial   Outpost   board here.   We   welcome   you   to   join   the   conversation   online   in   the   weeks leading up to the conference.
