| pgmt | Der Praktikerguide für mulitvariate Techniken | 14 hours | The introduction of the digital computer, and now the widespread availability of computer packages, has opened up a hitherto difficult area of statistics; multivariate analysis. Previously the formidable computing effort associated with these procedures presented a real barrier. That barrier has now disappeared and the analyst can therefore concentrate on an appreciation and an interpretation of the findings. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) Whereas the Analysis of Variance technique (ANOVA) investigates possible systematic differences between prescribes groups of individuals on a single variable, the technique of Multivariate Analysis of Variance is simply an extension of that procedure to numerous variates viewed collectively. These variates could be distinct in nature; for example Height, Weight etc, or repeated measures of a single variate over time or over space. When the variates are repeated measures over time or space, the analyses may often be reduced to a succession of univariate analyses, with easier interpretation. This procedure is often referred to as Repeated Measure Analysis. Principal Component Analysis If only two variates are recorded for a number of individuals, the data may conveniently be represented on a two-dimensional plot. If there are ‘p’ variates then one could imagine a plot of the data in ‘p’ dimensional space. The technique of Principal Component Analysis corresponds to a rotation of the axes so that the maximum amounts of variation are progressively represented along the new axes. It has been described as …….‘peering into multidimensional space, from every conceivable angle, and selecting as the viewing angle that which contains the maximum amount of variation’ The aim therefore is a reduction of the dimensionality of multivariate data. If for example a very high percentage (say 90%) of the variability is contained in the first two principal components, a plot of these components would be a virtually complete pictorial representation of the variability. Discriminant Analysis Suppose that several variates are observed on individuals from two identified groups. The technique of discriminant analysis involves calculating that linear function of the variates that best separates out the groups. The linear function may therefore be used to identify group membership simply from the pattern of variates. Various methods are available to estimate the success in general of this identification procedure. Canonical Variate Analysis Canonical Variate Analysis is in essence an extension of Discriminant Analysis to accommodate the situation where there are more than two groups of individuals. Cluster Analysis Cluster Analysis as the name suggests involves identifying groupings (or clusters) of individuals in multidimensional space. Since here there is no ‘a priori’ grouping of individuals, the identification of so called clusters is a subjective process subject to various assumptions. Most computer packages offer several clustering procedures that may often give differing results. However the pictorial representation of the so called ‘clusters’, in diagrams called dendrograms, provides a very useful diagnostic. Factor Analysis If ‘p’ variates are observed on each of ‘n’ individuals, the technique of factor analysis attempts to identify say ‘r’ (< p) so called factors which determine to a large extent the variate values. The implicit assumption here therefore is that the entire array of ‘p’ variates is controlled by ‘r’ factors. For example the ‘p’ variates could represent the performance of students in numerous examination subjects, and we wish to determine whether a few attributes such as numerical ability, linguistic ability could account for much of the variability. The difficulties here stem from the fact that the so-called factors are not directly observable, and indeed may not really exist. Factor analysis has been viewed very suspiciously over the years, because of the measure of speculation involved in the identification of factors. One popular numerical procedure starts with the rotation of axes using principal components (described above) followed by a rotation of the factors identified. |

| sixsigmabb | Six Sigma Black Belt | 84 hours | Six Sigma is a data driven approach that tackles variation to improve the performance of products, services and processes, combining practical problem solving and the best scientific approaches found in experimentation and optimisation of systems. The approach has been widely and successfully applied in industry, notably by Motorola, AlliedSignal & General Electric. Black Belt is a qualification for improvement managers in a Six Sigma organisation. You will learn the tools and techniques to take an improvement project through the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control phases (DMAIC). These techniques include Process Mapping, Measurement System Evaluation, Regression Analysis, Design of Experiments, Statistical Tolerancing, Monte Carlo Simulation and Lean Thinking. The content of the course takes the participants through the DMAIC phases as well as introducing subjects such as Lean Thinking, Design for Six Sigma and discussing important leadership issues and experiences in deploying a Six Sigma programme. Week 1 Foundation: covers the fundamentals of the Lean Six Sigma Define Measure Analyse Improve Control (DMAIC) approach enabling participants to take part and lead waste and defect reduction projects and initiatives. Week 2 Practitioner: provides additional data analysis and lean tools for participants to lead well scoped process improvement projects related to their regular job function. Week 3 Expert: provides regression, design of experiment and data analysis techniques to enable participants to tackle complex problem solving projects that require understanding of the relationships between multiple variables. The trainer has 16 years experience with Six Sigma and as well as leading the deployment of Six Sigma at a number of businesses he has trained and coached over 300 Black Belts. Here are a few comments from previous participants: “Probably the most valuable course I will ever pass” “The content was very well delivered. The examples very relevant. Thank you” “The course was excellent and I am able to use part of it to coach my lean teams here” (Company supervisor who attended with KTP associate) Block 1 Day 1 Introduction to Six Sigma Project Chartering & VOC Process Mapping Stakeholder analysis Day 2 Team Start Up Prioritisation Matrix Lean Thinking Value Stream Mapping Day 3 Data Collection Minitab and Graphical Analysis Descriptive Statistics Day 4 Measurement System Evaluation Process Capability Cp, CpK Six Sigma Metrics Day 5 5 Why FMEA Block 2 Day 1 Review of Block 1 Multivari Inferential Statistics Intro to Hypothesis Testing Day 2 2 sample t-tests F tests Hypothesis Testing – Chi Sq Day 3 Hypothesis Testing - Anova Day 4 Correlation and Regression Multiple Regression Introduction to Design Of Experiments Day 5 Mistake Proofing Control Plans Control Charts Block 3 Day 1 Review of Block 2 2K Factorial Experiments Box Cox Transformations Hypothesis Testing – Non Parametric Day 2 2K Factorial Experiments Fractional Factorial Experiments Day 3 Noise Blocking Robustness Centre Points General Full Factorial Experiments Day 4 Response Surface Experiments Implementing Improvements Creative Solutions Day 5 Intro to Design for Six Sigma Statistical Tolerancing Monte Carlo Simulation Certification Six Sigma is a practical qualification, to demonstrate knowledge of what has been learnt on the course you will need to undertake 2 coursework projects. There is no report to produce but you will be required to present a PowerPoint presentation to the trainer and examiner showing results and method. The projects can cover work you would complete in your normal work, however you will need to show use of the DMAIC problem solving approach and application of Six Sigma and Lean tools. This provides a good balance between the practical approach and more rigorous analysis which together lead to robust solutions. You will be able to contact the trainer for discussions of how Six Sigma tools could benefit you in your project. Examples of projects from previous participants include: Formulating cream texture for seasonality in dairy feeds. Housing Association complaints reduction Multi-variable (cost, efficiency, size) optimisation of a fuel cell Job Scheduling improvement in a factory Ambulance waiting time reduction Reduction in resin thickness variation in glass manufacture NobleProg & Redlands provide Black Belt certification. For delegates that require independent accreditation, NobleProg & Redlands have partnered with the British Quality Foundation (BQF) to provide Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification. Certification requires passing an exam at the end of the course and completing and presenting two improvement projects that demonstrate understanding and application of the Six Sigma approach and techniques. An additional charge of £600 plus VAT is levied for BQF independent accreditation. |

| mrkanar | Marketinganalytik mit R | 21 hours | Audience: Business owners (marketing managers, product managers, customer base managers) and their teams; customer insights professionals. Overview: The course follows the customer life cycle from acquiring new customers, managing the existing customers for profitability, retaining good customers, and finally understanding which customers are leaving us and why. We will be working with real (if anonymous) data from a variety of industries including telecommunications, insurance, media, and high tech. Format: Instructor-led training over the course of five half-day sessions with in-class exercises as well as homework. It can be delivered as a classroom or distance (online) course. Trainer: The Instructor has gained 19 years experience in customer insights and customer relationship management after originally graduating in experimental particle physics and working at the CERN laboratory. He has worked with large corporations across Europe and North America to transform the way they look at their customers and derive value from data, and has held interim management roles at leading Dutch and Irish mobile phone operators building their Insights and Customer Base Management teams. He is one of the founders of The PCA Group, which helps large corporations in Europe and South America transform their approach to marketing, and of CYBAEA, which provides analytics-as-a-service across the globe with a strong focus on commercial results. His teaching style focuses on practical example and emphasizes results over theoretical sophistication: his courses are for practitioners who need to deliver value to their organizations and while he covers just enough theory to make sure his students are on a firm footing his teaching is not geared to more theoretical students. Expect much hands-on work and very few formula. Part 1: Inflow - acquiring new customers Our focus is direct marketing so we will not look at advertising campaigns but instead focus on understanding marketing campaigns (e.g. direct mail). This is the foundation for almost everything else in the course. We look at measuring and improving campaign effectiveness. including: The importance of test and control groups. Universal control group. Techniques: Lift curves, AUC Return on investment. Optimizing marketing spend. Part 2: Base Management: managing existing customers Considering the cost of acquiring new customers for many businesses there are probably few assets more valuable than their existing customer base, though few think of it in this way. Topics include: 1. Cross-selling and up-selling: Offering the right product or service to the customer at the right time. Techniques: RFM models. Multinomial regression. b. Value of lifetime purchases. 2. Customer segmentation: Understanding the types of customers that you have. Classification models using first simple decision trees, and then random forests and other, newer techniques. Part 3: Retention: Keeping your good customers Understanding which customers are likely to leave and what you can do about it is key to profitability in many industries, especially where there are repeat purchases or subscriptions. We look at propensity to churn models, including Logistic regression: glm (package stats) and newer techniques (especially gbm as a general tool) Tuning models (caret) and introduction to ensemble models. Part 4: Outflow: Understanding who are leaving and why Customers will leave you – that is a fact of life. What is important is to understand who are leaving and why. Is it low value customers who are leaving or is it your best customers? Are they leaving to competitors or because they no longer need your products and services? Topics include: Customer lifetime value models: Combining value of purchases with propensity to churn and the cost of servicing and retaining the customer. Analysing survey data. (Generally useful, but we will do a brief introduction here in the context of exit surveys.) |

| sixsigmagb | Six Sigma Green Belt | 70 hours | Green Belts participate in and lead Lean and Six Sigma projects from within their regular job function. They can tackle projects as part of a cross functional team or projects scoped within their normal job. Each session of Green Belt training is separated by 3 or 4 weeks when the Green Belts apply their training to their improvement projects. We recommend supporting the Green Belts on their projects in between training sessions and holding stage gate reviews along with leadership and Lean Six Sigma Champions to ensure DMAIC methodology is being rigorously applied. Week 1 Foundation: covers the fundamentals of the Lean Six Sigma Define Measure Analyse Improve Control (DMAIC) approach enabling participants to take part and lead waste and defect reduction projects and initiatives. Week 2 Practitioner: provides additional data analysis and lean tools for participants to lead well scoped process improvement projects related to their regular job function.

| rdataana | R für Datenanalyse und Forschung | 7 hours | Audience managers developers scientists students Format of the course on-line instruction and discussion OR face-to-face workshops The list below gives an idea of the topics that will be covered in the workshop. The number of topics that will be covered depends on the duration of the workshop (i.e. one, two or three days). In a one or two day workshop it may not be possible to cover all topics, and so the workshop will be tailored to suit the specific needs of the learners. A first R session Syntax for analysing one dimensional data arrays Syntax for analysing two dimensional data arrays Reading and writing data files Sub-setting data, sorting, ranking and ordering data Merging arrays Set membership The main statistical functions in R The Normal Distribution (correlation, probabilities, tests for normality and confidence intervals) Ordinary Least Squares Regression T-tests, Analysis of Variance and Multivariable Analysis of Variance Chi-square tests for categorical variables Writing functions in R Writing software (scripts) in R Control structures (e.g. Loops) Graphical methods (including scatterplots, bar charts, pie charts, histograms, box plots and dot charts) Graphical User Interfaces for R |
