Object-Oriented Programming with MATLAB for Geophysics (Basic Level) Training Course

In the first part of this training, we cover the fundamentals of MATLAB and its role as both a language and a platform for government. This discussion includes an introduction to MATLAB syntax, arrays and matrices, data visualization, script development, and object-oriented principles.

In the second part, we demonstrate how to use MATLAB for data mining, machine learning, and predictive analytics in a government context. To provide participants with a clear and practical perspective of MATLAB's approach and power, we draw comparisons between using MATLAB and other tools such as spreadsheets, C, C++, and Visual Basic.

In the third part of the training, participants learn how to streamline their work by automating data processing and report generation for government tasks.

Throughout the course, participants will apply the concepts learned through hands-on exercises in a lab environment. By the end of the training, participants will have a thorough understanding of MATLAB's capabilities and will be able to employ it for solving real-world data science problems as well as for streamlining their work through automation for government.

Assessments will be conducted throughout the course to gauge progress.

Format of the Course

• The course includes theoretical and practical exercises, including case discussions, sample code inspection, and hands-on implementation.

Note

• Practice sessions will be based on pre-arranged sample data report templates. If you have specific requirements for government use cases, please contact us to arrange.

Predictive analytics is a process that leverages data analytics to forecast future events. This approach combines data with data mining, statistical analysis, and machine learning techniques to develop predictive models.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Matlab to construct predictive models and apply them to large datasets to anticipate future outcomes based on the data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create predictive models to identify patterns in historical and transactional data
• Leverage predictive modeling to recognize risks and opportunities
• Develop mathematical models that capture significant trends
• Utilize data from devices and business systems to optimize processes, reduce waste, save time, or cut costs

Audience

• Developers
• Engineers
• Domain experts

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

This training is designed to enhance skills for government professionals and align with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability.

This two-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the MATLAB® technical computing environment for government. The course is intended for beginner users and those looking for a review. No prior programming experience or knowledge of MATLAB is assumed. Themes of data analysis, visualization, modeling, and programming are explored throughout the course, with an emphasis on aligning these skills with public sector workflows and governance.

This course is designed for individuals interested in exploring an alternative to commercial MATLAB software. Over three days, participants will receive thorough instruction on navigating the OCTAVE environment and utilizing it for data analysis and engineering calculations. This training is suitable for both beginners and those with existing knowledge of the program who wish to systematize their skills and enhance their proficiency. While prior experience with other programming languages is not necessary, it can significantly aid in the learning process. The course will provide practical examples to demonstrate how to effectively use the program in various scenarios, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows for government.
