Two-day workshop on data mining methods

I just posted the following message at Health Informatics Forum in Singapore and thought it would also be worth posting here"

At GMS we are currently putting together the content for a two-day workshop to demonstrate some simple data mining techniques applied to research. The workshop is hands-on, with participants using simple data sets to test a few methods in R and Weka, both open source packages.

The underlying idea behind this workshop is to use the Intelligent Data Analysis concept of "the repeated application of [data analysis] concept of "teasing out the structure, to understand what is going on, and to refine the questions that the researchers are seeking to answer, requires painstaking care and, above all, intelligence. 'Intelligent' data analysis is not a haphazard application of statistical and machine learning tools, not a random walk through the space of analytic techniques, but a carefully planned and considered process of deciding what will be most useful and revealing."

Any suggestions on what you would like to see in such a workshop are certainly appreciated. Of course, if you would like to join us in the preparation of the material and teaching, you are more than welcome!
