SC 07: Advanced Analytics – Understanding the Powers and Pitfalls of Multivariate Statistics for Upstream Oil & Gas (Morning Half Day)
Instructor: Andrew Silver, Adret LLC Cost $95
This course provides an introduction to data wrangling, data and modelling diagnostics, descriptive analytics, and predictive analytics featuring some use-cases built with upstream oil & gas data.
As the promise of “advanced analytics” (a.k.a. “data science,” “machine learning,” and “artificial intelligence”) is splashed across the headlines, a certain amount of unfounded hype is also clouding the landscape regarding what we can hope to gain from analytics implementations.
