In this webinar, you will learn how to do data driven fitting with MathWorks products.
Data driven fitting derives all of the information required to generate a model directly from the data set.  Data driven fitting is also referred to as “black box” modeling and nonparametric fitting.

Applied examples from the webinar include: 

• Comparing the accuracy of different fitting techniques
• Using back-testing to measure the accuracy of your model
• Generating confidence intervals with bootstrap
• Using cross validation to avoid overfitting

Key analytical techniques include:

• Neural Networks
• Boosted and bagged decision trees
• Localized regression
• Smoothing splines
