Introduction to RapidMiner Video Tutorial – Part 1
(*** Note: This video has been superseded with the new Rapidminer 5.0 video tutorial ***)
Follow this link for the Introduction to RapidMiner Video Tutorial – Part 1. Note, its SWF file and best viewed on Internet Explorer and there is some audio distortion toward the end. Please leave me any comments or questions!

What do you use Rapid Miner for? It looks like a very useful tool.

I use it to model financial data like stock prices, fed fund rates, etc. I do this so I can forecast possible outcomes and position myself in the markets.
All my forex trading decisions depend on my neural networks created from Rapidminer

Hi Tom,
Great tutorial. The sound deteriorates about mid part but still possible to follow to the end. Can’t wait for next part.

@Shane: Thanks!
@Mika: Thanks, I think I figured out why it begins to distort, its right after I change the decesion tree layout.

Tom,
Thanks for the tutorial – Rapidminer is much less mysterious, and much more intriguing.
I look forward to the next, and will gladly contribute (as a member) for your expertise.
Regards,
Eric

Eric,
Thanks. My next Rapidminer Video will be delayed because I’ve been sick and my “freebie” trailware license ran out. I need to come up with $299 which is out of my budget at this time.

Tom these vids are great, I’m such a visual person and I really don’t have too much time to read these days. I have been playing around with Neural nets for a little bit and never heard of rapid miner, thanks. By the way, I’m quite sure I will join any membership you offer…
