DATA MINING FOR CORRELATION ANALYSIS (DM-LITE)* (16 HOURS)

*This is a non-WSQ module.

Introduction

Data mining is a technique used to extract useful information from a large number of datasets. A good understanding of the updated data mining techniques and the ability to use effectively is increasingly important for data-intensive manufacturing operations. This training is targeted towards manufacturing companies and companies in other industries which are data rich but information poor. It aims to provide the trainees understanding of up-to-date data mining technologies, build a fundamental about data analytics and data mining techniques for various applications such as process optimisation, correlation analysis for major factor identification, product quality improvement and many more.

about the programme

This course aims to provide participants with up-to-date technologies in data mining. Through extensive hands-on and sharing of successful case studies, it allows the participants to have the confidence and ability to use data mining techniques to help them in their daily work.

The course will provide the participants with a set of methodology for conducting problem-solving using data mining. From the basics of methodologies in data collection, pre-process data from multiple sources, cleaning of the data, to finally using data mining techniques to analyse the data and solve actual industrial problems.

At the end of the course, the participants can:

Understand the fundamentals of data mining technologies
Gain knowledge of actual industry case studies of how data mining can be used to solve actual industrial problems
Understand data collection and pre-process methodologies
Understand the K-means clustering method and its application
Able to apply correlation analysis to identify the major factors for root cause analysis
Understand and apply predictive modelling by multiple regression and neural networks
Apply smart design of experiment with What-If analysis through predictive models

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for professionals such as engineers, managers, researchers, IT support staff as well as management in semiconductor, electronics, precision engineering, aerospace, automation, medtech, pharmaceutical and logistic industries.

WHAT OUR TRAINEES SAY

I had the privilege of being trained in data mining by an exceptional instructor, Ms Ge Hailin. Her delivery was clear and concise making complex concepts easy to grasp. Her passion for the subject was evident in every session which made learning not only effective but also inspiring. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to master data mining.

Mr Leonidas Chua,
Participant from Jul 2024 intake

Very informative course. Trainers are very experienced and easy to approach. They are willing to share their real-world experiences.

Mr Saw Thant Lwin Tun,
Participant from Jul 2024 intake

A good hands-on course to let you have a basic idea of what data mining is and the necessary tools.

Mr Roy Ang,
Participant from Jul 2024 intake

Plenty of real-life applications were shared during our lessons, making it easy to relate.

Course Outline

The programme consists of 4 learning stages.

Stage 1

Trainees will learn up-to-date data mining technologies through an overview of data mining introduction. They will also gain knowledge of the successful applications of data mining in local industry companies through case-studies sharing.

Stage 2

Trainees will learn to carry out data collection and data pre-processing. They will also learn how to use K-means clustering to discover anomaly data patterns. They will have an opportunity to use data mining software to carry out hands-on sessions to understand the k-means clustering method.

Stage 3

Trainees will learn about correlation analysis for major factor identification. They will also learn the fundamental of predictive modelling by multiple regression. A smart design of experiment (DoE) with what-if analysis will be carried out based on a predictive model. For each of the learning point, trainees will be given an opportunity to try and apply what they learned through hands-on sessions.

Stage 4

Trainees will learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods. The basics of Neural Networks (NN) and Fuzzy Neural Networks (FNN) will be introduced. The trainees will learn how to apply NN and FNN for performance prediction through hands-on sessions. They will also have an opportunity to compare the advantage and disadvantage of predictive modelling methods through a case study. The trainees will gain a solid foundation and apply what they have learned.
