WORKSHOP 01: Introductory Analytics Workbench/STATISTICa

Description:  This two-day workshop is designed to instruct the student on how to take advantage of the Basic Functionality in Workbench (Statistica) as well as how to take advantage of the various analytical techniques to characterize data and subsequently explore relations between continuous and categorical data.

Objectives: Introducing delegates to:

• Basic Usage of Workbench (Statistica)  
• Working with Data and Menus
• Using Analytics Menus
• Working with Graphs & Output 
• Automating Frequently Used Tasks 
• Asking Analytical Questions from Data 
• Aligning Analytical & Data Questions to Business Objectives 
• Essential concepts in analytics which are the foundation of most statistical tests
• Descriptive analytics and how to describe data Quantifying relations between continuous and categorical variables  

Outcome:  Delegates will leave the workshop with an excellent theoretical and practical understanding of using the Tools available in Workbench (Statistica) as well as applying these in an operational and business context.
