Description

From https://www-01.ibm.com/software/analytics/spss/academic/programs/map.html

Industry analysts have identified predictive analytics as the fastest growing software category for company spending. They also expect that the need for staff with these capabilities will outpace available skill sets in many organizations. This will mean that expertise in data mining and predictive analytics will be highly sought after for years to come.

To ensure that educational institutions have access to these leading-edge technologies and can prepare their students for these opportunities, we now offer the IBM SPSS Mining in Academia Program (MAP) as part of the IBM SPSS Academic New Deal. This program provides no-cost use of IBM® SPSS® Modeler Premium data mining and text analytics software for classroom teaching and research.
