Newsletter - January 2012

January, 04 2012

First of all, the entire team of Bayesia joins me in sending you our best wishes for health, happiness and success for this New Year.

In these times of economic uncertainty, Bayesian networks in general, and our tools in particular, have become more indispensable than ever! It is indeed necessary to properly assess the risks, to quickly find the best optimization drivers, to make the right decisions effectively.

We have increased the frequency of our newsletter and it is now almost on a monthly cycle. We want to keep you better informed regarding the dates of our training sessions, and to give you quick access to articles, tutorials and webinars that we offer regularly to illustrate features and applications of our software.

  BayesiaLab Training Sessions

The next training seminars "Bayesian Networks for Expert Knowledge Modeling and Data Mining" will take place in:

• Paris, France, January 17-19 (in French)
• Orlando, FL, USA, February 13-15 (right before the ASA Conference on Statistical Practice)
• Paris, France, March 20-22 (in French)
• Orange County, CA, USA, April 18-20 (right after the INFORMS Conference on Business Analytics & O.R.)
• Paris, France, June 19-21 (in French)
• Toronto, Canada, July 17-19
• Paris, France, September 25-27 (in French)
• San Jose, CA, USA, October (to be held in conjunction with the 2012 Data Mining Camp)

We cover all the fundamentals of Bayesian Networks and Data Mining, so no prior knowledge is required other than a basic familiarity with mathematical and statistical concepts. In conjunction with the seminar, participants have access to a 60-day unrestricted license of BayesiaLab Professional Edition, so they can experience the full array of features through the hands-on exercises.

 Bayesian Belief Networks Discussion Group

Last year we created a discussion group on LinkedIn dedicated to Bayesian Belief Networks with BayesiaLab. Today, this group has more more than 750 members and it hosts a wide range of interesting discussions and also features the latest announcements from Bayesia. You will also find Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) in this group, with experts from BayesiaLab and users of the program exchanging the latest tips and tricks.
